PsExec run remote batch file in visible mode

Question

I am trying to execute following command

psexec \\\\x.x.x.x -d -c -f cmd.exe /c d:\\test\\hello.bat

It runs fine and gives output

Answer 1

Alex K. is correct. Specifically, remove the "-d", which tells PsExec "Don't wait for process to terminate (non-interactive)". In fact, if you run the sample batch file above, which includes "pause", the cmd process will continue to run on the remote host (invisible to the remote host's GUI, since it's done via PSExec) until you kill that process.

Answer 2

PsExec.exe -s -i 2 C:\path_to_exe.exe

This need to check with the session ID variable (-s & -i)

Answer 3

I think you can look at the Session Id for your current user and pass it as parameter with -i For example:

PsExec.exe -s -d -i 2 c:\temp\MyServer MyConsoleApp.exe

To look at the current Session Id you can run query session

Sometimes the Session Id is 2 for the active user you want to start process for, so try looking for your correct Session Id and use it with -i parameter.

Answer 4

Try one of those:

1. psexec \\server -u xxx-p xxxx /accepteula  -i 1 -d cmd.exe /K "cd d:\test && call hello.bat"
   

2. psexec \\server -u xxx -p xxxx /accepteula  -i 1 -d d:\test\hello.bat
