Run Program On Remote Console

[Hackster]

I can programmatically connect to a server, or another PC in my LAN, and run a program located on that machine. However, it will display on my console.

Is it possible to programmatically execute a program on a remote machine and have the screens for that program appear on the remote console?

You may do this using WMI. If your using older than W2K Operating system this will require an additional install.

For more info go here:

Here is an example using Notepad.

Dim wmgts As Object
Dim lintPID As Integer
Dim ComputerName as string

ComputerName = "localhost"

Set wmgts = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & ComputerName & "\root\cimv2:Win32_Process")

wmgts.Create "c:\windows\notepad.exe", Null, Null, lintPID

You'll also need admin rights on the target PC in order for it to work correctly.
