I can vouch for the PSTools.  It is extreemly versatile, robust and very powerful.  As Davis said, you MUST test the applications first, we had a few problems but were soon ironed out.  I would also advise getting all of the utils that your going to use one 1 box first, before moving on to your other servers

For remote command execution, try psexec - part of PSTools - from www.sysinternals.com.

 

It's extremely powerful when administering systems - you can start a wide range of processes remotely.  Using psexec with batch programs can do great things for sysadmin productivity.

 

Be careful though, that you test applications first before triggering them remotely on a wide scale.  Some apps behave, others don't.

PS - For extra fun, try "psexec \\servername cmd"  (and then, again, be very careful).

 

PPS - Did I mention you should use psexec with great care?

You can't execute a command on a remote system like that, the only way to do that is using remote services that execute the command.

Hi,

I have my 'dumb' hat on today.  I am trying to execute a "bat" file as part of an escalation.  The log indicates the command was processed, but it does not perform the requested functions.  Where does the bat file reside ??

The command line is        \\%h\c$\delmail.bat

The log info is:
Thursday, November 14, 2002 2:07:57 PM External check of :"h:\salivecheck\countfiles.exe" ini="h:\salivecheck\countfiles.ini" section=mailcheckhot logging=yes
