Execute a batch file on a networked computer remotely?
Posted by Sanjay Punjab on July 16th, 2004


I have two computers (a laptop & desktop) at home that are networked
to each other through a netgear router.

I have a batch file on my desktop computer that I would like to
trigger from my laptop (so it runs on my home PC). Is there a way to
do this via the local area network in windows XP?

PsExec is probably the preferred tool. It's part of the widely
appreciated (and free) PsTools tool kit at
<http://www.sysinternals.com/>. Microsoft networking must work
between the two machines, though IP addresses can be used if the
routing has problems.

Seconded. I have done so much stuff with the PSTools kit, and PSExec is
one of the most useful things to have around.
