call DOS script in Remote server

[rao]

i want to execute a DOS batch file in remote server. how to invoke script in remote server?? pls advice

[blastman]

depends what your after;

if the script is on the remote server and you want it to run on a local machine, just "start \\servername\path\to\batch\file.bat" will do the job.

if however you want it to run on the server it's self then you'll need some 3rd party tools. I recommend Pstools as it free and has loads of useful features. One of them is psexec.

Basic usage;

C:\pstools\psexec \\servername C:\path\on\server\to\batch\file.bat
