Subject: PSEXEC running exe while logged off
Posted: 11 February 2014 at 8:03pm
I am wondering if the problem is accessing \\server\Share\program.exe when not authenticated to the Share. Since it works when logged in, I would suspect authentication would be a likely problem.
Consider copying program.exe to the execution PC's C:\tools\ or C:\Program Files\myprogram\, or what have you, while access to program.exe is accessible (authenticated). Then, the execution from the psexec target C: drive would eliminate access issues, when running psexec while not logged in. Of course, I am not considering what program.exe is doing, and what access it needs to access data or what rights it needs on \\server\share.
Let us know if this is helpful.

 I am trying to run an exec on remote systems and it works fine when the user is logged in but I am needing it to run when no one is logged in. @echo off for /F "usebackq delims==" %%I in ("systems.txt") do Call :begin %%I goto :EOF :begin set srv=%1 :get info psexec \\%srv% -s -d -i "\\server\Share\program.exe" goto :eof |
