Run application or Process on a remote computer

Question

I need to run an application or service on a remote computer. I have had success with psexec from SysInternals, but I am investigating and would like to compre alternatives.

Answer 1

The other possiblity would be to use the windows AT command which schedules tasks via the windows scheduler. You can submit jobs remotely with the command as long as you have administrator access and the schedule service is running on the other machine. To examine the syntax, just open a CMD window and type AT /?.

for example to run something on machine named "server" at 4am, just enter the command

AT \\server 4:00 "c:\something.bat"
