    Posted: 13 November 2009 at 7:48pm
Hi all-
 
I'm trying to use PSEXEC to run a batch file on a remote PC.  The command I'm using is psexec \\computer.domain.com - u username -i -d cmd /c \\computer\folder\program_copy.bat

I get cmd exited on computer with error code 0.  I checked the PC and the batch file doesn't seem to run.  Is there a way to see what is happening?  Or am I missing something?
 
Thanks.

Hello, tonydotigr.

Assuming that  computer.domain.com and computer are the same computer, you should try to run the command like this instead
Quote psexec \\computer.domain.com -u username -i -d cmd /c drive:\folder\program_copy.bat
where drive: is the drive letter as it will be seen when you are logged on to computer, i.e. C: or D: or E: or ...

About logging what happens:

In case you can run your psexec commandline without the -d (detach) option, you might redirect the screen output of your psexec command line to a file.

Quote psexec \\computer.domain.com -u username -i cmd /c drive:\folder\program_copy.bat > "%temp%\psexeclog.txt" 2>&1
The file "%temp%\psexeclog.txt" on your local machine will hold all screen output (stdout and stderr) which is generated by your psexec commandline.

In case you have to run your psexec commandline with the -d (detach) option, you should modify the command lines inside the script program_copy.bat in such a way that they write their screen output to a file. The file will be stored on the remote machine computer.domain.com in this case.

Kind regards,
SvenBomwollen

I can help with batch files but I'm afraid I don't understand the question ...

Hi,
 
My Question here is i want to access a *.BAT file on remote server.
Need to be executed only on server.
This *.BAT file accepts a command line parameter(it is a BAT file that takes input).
So i require a syntax how i can execute that *.BAT on Server?
 
Thanks

psexec \\computer.domain.com -u username -p password cmd /k  "drive:\folder\program_copy.bat < input"

Im not sure if that would work, input redirection is something i have not tried, but i have read that it is not possible through PSEXEC ... is this right anyone?

I read that it works but it bugged and can cause hung sessions ect... this may have been resolved in a later release ... i dont know.
