Greetings.. Can someone bring in some insight into this, and perhaps propose a possible solution? I'll try to be as detailed as I can. The goal is to: Successfully run the following on multiple remote machines (all Win2003) \\localmachine\folder\subfolder\file.bat (basically mapping back to the local box to execute a batch) 'localmachine' is where I am trying to run psexec from 'localmachine' houses the batch file and other necessary components So, I have a command prompt (with domain admin priv.); I type in the following: psexec -u DOMAIN\loginID \\remoteServer -c C:\Folder\subfolder\file.bat Better yet, for multiple machines: psexec @listofMachines.bat -u DOMAIN\loginID -e -d -c C:\Folder\subfolder\file.bat 6 out of 15 machines can execute without a problem Rests don't... Now, if I RDC into those 9 machines and run the following: \\localmachine\folder\subfolder\file.bat Works Great..! Tried  three versions of psexec Here's the error (exactly as it appears): "PSExec could not start file.bat on remoteServer: The system cannot find the file specified. The permissions on the folder and files underneath: 'Everyone' Full Control. Any clue? Perhaps some other alternatives? VBScript? It could be as simple as running a command remotely on multiple machines (as a scheduled task or realtime: works either way) PowerShell's been coming along ok so far, but I can't afford to spend much time and resource plunging into it.  Last edited: 11-Jun-09 05:59 PM
