Run a program on another networked computer

[George Cooper]

I need to run a batch program (.bat) on a computer that is
networked to mine. I don't want it to run on my own PC but
to be kicked off from my PC.

I have full admin rights on both machines.

Any ideas out there?

I looked at <AT> DOS Command but it seems that it only
works for schedulled programs. I can schedule the program
to run but I don't want it to run at a schedulled time but
only in an ad-hoc way when requested from my own PC.

Thanks,

George Cooper

You could use some remote administration software, like Remote Assistance
(built in) or WinVNC (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvnc.html).

I can't think of another way, without a Trojan type program.

For a batch program, psexec.exe is the ideal choice. It's free
at www.sysinternals.com.

You can use the telnet service on the remote machine to do this. I do
it all the time.

I use RSH to run programs remotely. I believe it is available in
Windows Resource Kit. The way to configure it is the same as REXEC. In
other words, this is not easy.

Good luck.
