psexec batch file

[Joey]

I need to create a batch file that will check the version of the host and
then run an executable from the network...

@echo off
psexec @hosts.txt -u domain\user-p xxxx ver | find "5.2" > nul
if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto ver_2003
if %ERRORLEVEL% == 1 goto ver_XP

:ver_2003
echo Windows 2003
\\server2\setup.exe
goto exit

:ver_XP
echo XP
\\server1\setup.exe
goto exit

Does anyone have any recommendation on how to proceed? psexec is reporting
back "ver" is unknown

thanks

Are you trying to read the Hosts file? The Hosts file has no extension.

Joey,
The command to execute must be: "cmd /c ver" not "ver" so your
batch script should read:

----------------- copy between lines -----------------
@echo off
psexec @hosts.txt -u domain\user-p xxxx cmd /c ver | find "5.2" > nul
if %ERRORLEVEL%] == 0] goto ver_2003
if %ERRORLEVEL%] == 1] goto ver_XP

:ver_2003
echo Windows 2003
\\server2\setup.exe
goto EOF

:ver_XP
echo XP
\\server1\setup.exe
goto EOF

----------------- copy between lines -----------------

Joey,
Sorry, I ALMOST got that right!! Two minor errors: 1). the
ERRORLEVEL statements are listed in the wrong order. If the test for 0 is
before the test for 1 then ) will ALWAYS be found and will always go to Win
2K3! and 2). the EOF (end of file) label should have a colon before it (my
bad).

----------------- copy between lines -----------------
@echo off
psexec @hosts.txt -u domain\user-p xxxx cmd /c ver | find "5.2" > nul
if %ERRORLEVEL%] == 1] goto ver_XP
if %ERRORLEVEL%] == 0] goto ver_2003

:ver_2003
echo Windows 2003
\\server2\setup.exe
goto :EOF

:ver_XP
echo XP
\\server1\setup.exe
goto :EOF

----------------- copy between lines -----------------
