Initiating Batch on Remote Server

[sohtnax]

How can I trigger a batch file to run on a server remotely, without actually executing the batch on the machine I am using?

For example, I have create testbatch on Server A. At any given moment, I want to be able to triger the script testbatch script to run locally on Server A, from ServerB.

Get yourself a copy of SysInternals PSEXEC. It is a free download.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Did you try and right click on another computer's "My Computer", select manage, and right click on Computer Management and select connect to another computer. Connect to the remote server and run the batch file. Good luck.

There is a remote command prompt utility in the Windows 2000 Support Tools called Remote.exe which allows you to "Run commandline programs on remote computers using named pipes. "

It should be in your install CD or if you have the latest service pack, check the Support\Tools\Support.cab file on the Windows 2000 SP. Not sure when the last update was but the one on the install CD should work fine.
