What happens when you start with a simple command?

psexec \\remotehost cmd.exe

You can build up from here and try your setup.exe command.
Note that psexec.exe does NOT support a GUI. You can
only run console commands.
 
Re: psexec

ok I think I got it to work


C:\WINDOWS\system32>psexec \\remotehost -u "domain\user" -i
\\server\share\setup.exe



I had to enter the domain user name. What do I do if I want to use the @file
with more than one hostname?

Congratulations! You just found out that running psexec.exe by
itself will launch a session under the "System" account, which, of
course, has no access to networked resources.

What do you mean with "@file"?
