 Use server to execute remote procedures on other workstations in the organization
Remote access, Remote Computers, Remote procedure calls, Remote server management, Remote Workstation, Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP, Windows XP Professional
I have a few batch programs I have written for my organization. They are very useful and have been deployed on only a few machines. We have decided we want to make these batch programs available to all workstations. I would like the batch programs to reside on the servers. When initiated, I would like the workstations chosen to perform a task. For example, a scheduled task starts on the server, initiating my batch program. Then, (through some method I am unsure of, and would like some help with) workstations A-N run "Disk Cleanup". Is there any way to do this? Here's some additional info: Windows Servers (2003, 2008, Exchange) Local Workstations (XP Professional (Majority), Vista Business(Few)) Again the question: I have batch programs on servers that need to execute commands on other workstations on the network, how do I go about doing this? Thanks for you help in advance, Schmidtw

Im the past I loved the <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx">PSEXEC</a> tool that allows you performing tasks on remote workstations by having correct credentials ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I do not want to execute programs remotely. I am not willing to take the time to install the files on every machine so I can use a server to call the program to run locally. I want the server to dispatch the commands, so that each remote machine will execute a program on the server like PSSHUTDOWN. -Schmidtw ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Perhaps I should reiterate: The server contains the task and the programs. The server tells which workstations excute the programs located on the server. I do NOT want to install the programs on the local machines. -Schmidtw
