@Jon: Great little script! I use psexec all the time, and this GUI frontend will help things greatly. Thanks!!:D

@ Alphaechocharlie: Great idea, but in addition to the changes you proposed:


You need to also add this:


This will append the \\ to all of the computer names, not just the first one.

Thanks for the great tool.

Hi,

sorry I'm not an expert, how can I run the script ?
What is the programming language ?

Thank you !

I have been given a task at work, and was supplied with an earler version of PSexec.exe, I have never used this tool before, every thing I have tried so far is hopeless, this gui is just what might save my bacon. I have copied the script data to notepad, saved it as .vbs and as .bat I am unable to get it to run, please can advise how this is suppose to activated.

thanx

Tom,

I had the same issue and after some digging here I found you need to install the autohotkey program on your computer, copy the script into notepad and save as *.ahk.

Once you do that you can right-click on the script and turn it into an .exe file.

This is an awesome tool.

This is an amazing script, I was looking for something exactly like this and just found your wrapper, thank you thank you thank you!!!

Is this a dead project?

I can't get this to run in Win7 x64. I don't know if the problem is with compatibility with the latest version of PsExec (as someone else posted a while back) or my system.

I get an error:

but with the actual "odd" characters where I put the html codes.

TIA

While looking at the services running on a server, I noticed that Backup Exec Remote Agent had stopped. How can I start the service remotely from the computer in my office, either thru command prompt, script, batch file, etc.. Thanks for the help.

Service name: beremote.exe
Path: \\servername\c$\program files\symantec\backup exec\raws\beremote.exe

I tried the following, but did not work: ERROR CODE 0
\\%var%\c$\psexec /accepteula \\%var% -s "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\RAWS\beremote.exe"

If you need more info., let me know.

From the command line (cmd) you can run:



Note that ServiceName is not what is shown as the name in the Services control panel, you have to look at the properties of the service to get the correct name.

Details of the SC function here

Thank for responding to my question..!
I am able to see this service or process by managing the computer and looking at the service pane. Also, by using the task manager, I'm able to see this process active/running.

I tried to use: sc \\CompName start ServiceName[/code]
But, it does not find this process running.
I really do appreciate your input. Many thanks...!
I willcontinue beating my head against the wall 'till I find a solution.
If you have any more input on this, it will be greatly appreciated.

You could try running this from the command line on the machine where the service is/should be running:



This will tell you what sc thinks of the service.

If it tells you the service doesn't exist, find the service in the services control panel applet (or manage computer) and right-click -> properties to get the actual service name rather than the display name:



The use that in the sc command. e.g.:

me01273, you are abolutely right.
I got it now. It was tricky for me to get the name of the service and not the display name or file specified in the path.
I was able to start the service using the SC command. And I was also able to start the service using the famous: PSEXEC.
I would like to take the oportunity to thank you so much.
This forum is awesome...!
Thanks me01273...!

No problem whatsoever my friend,

and your right, this forum is awesome.

Does anyone know how this could be tweaked to allow it to pipe the results?

PsExec doesn't have a method of outputting it's results that I'm aware of. I've tried the standard piping method and all you get is a blank text file.

Anyways, PsExec switch syntax can be found here:

If you can figure out how to capture it, I'd be interested too.
