When I run psexec from my machine to open notepad in the remote machine, I see notepad is running as a process, but nothing is there in the Application list and notepad window has not opened in the remote window.
c:\Users\Ask\Downloads\PSTools>psexec -h -u administrator -p force \\135.20.230.167 notepad.e
xe
What might be the reason?
Thank you for your help.

Situation: Running the bat file on windows machine:
1. When I double click the bat file: Bat running is failed.
2. When I right click on bat file and run as administrator: Bat run is successful.
Now I have to run this bat file successfully from remote machine.
What I did:
1. Installed freeSSDd on remote machine and configured administrator user on freeSSHd to access shell and SFTP.
2. Now I am able to login to the remote machine using putty.
Problem:
I am not able to run the bat file successfully. How can I achieve this?
I also used runas /savecred /user:administrator C:/install.bat, but It didn't helped.
There is a way to get this working without any 3rd party software.
You have to create a task on the remote machine using the windows task scheduler which simply executes the desired command. There is an option where you can tell the scheruler to run a bat with a specific account. Enter an admin account and the password and check the "run with highest privileges" box. Leave "Triggers" empty, go to "Settings" and check the "Allow task to be run on demand" box. That's it!
Now when you want to run your file from a different location do
SCHTASKS /RUN /S <RemoteServerName> /U username /P password /TN "<task name>"
If you don't want to enter username and password each time you can adept the user policy (e.g. add the calling machine to the trusted list of the server).
If you have installed an ssh daemon, then you can run your BAT in a remote shell, but you remote shell may open up in something other than CMD.COM. I use cygwin to set up sshd and then from a remote machine, if I ssh in to run a command, it is using cygwin's bash. I can run a BAT file, but need to call CMD first:
ssh WINDOWS_SERVER "cmd /C D:\PATH_TO_BAT\BATCHFILE.BAT"
But there are some pieces missing here. I looked briefly at the Freesshd page and saw only graphical interfaces. Does freesshd support remote command execution, or just secure fire transfer? And what sort of shell get executed on the windows server when you run it?
cygwin is an entire Linux subsystem that runs under Windows and includes an sshd server, but might be a bit much for someone starting out: https://cygwin.com/
\n makes a powershell remote server that listens on port 22 (ssh) and dumps you into a powershell prompt, you can then use my steps above to call CMD from powershell, versus a bash shell.

Ok here's an interesting problem I've run into. I'm attempting to reboot some computers remotely using psshutdown and getting access denied errors unless I run the cmd from a cmd prompt that was run as admin. I myself am an admin on my machine as well as on the remote computer so my credentials should work just fine.
Example code:
psshutdown /accepteula \\COMPUTER.DOMAIN.COM -u DOMAIN\USER -p Password -r -t 0
Example output:
Could not start PsShutdown service on COMPUTER.DOMAIN.COM:
Access is denied.
However when run from admin cmd window:
COMPUTER.DOMAIN.COM is scheduled to reboot in 00:00:00.
As kludge-y as it seems, is it possible to use psexec to run psshutdown as an elevated user?
After running around in circles with this I ended up using:
runas /netonly /user:DOMAIN\USERNAME "shutdown -m \\XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -r -f -t 0"
Which isn't ideal but got the job done.
Ok, try this. It will open an external window where you can remotely shutdown computers on your network:
shutdown -i
You can type this straight into the CMD window without needing to create a .bat file.
Hope this helps!
I have a batch file on my bamboo server, that starts another batch file on an remote computer trough PsExec. If I double click the batch file on the bamboo sever everything is working fine, the batch file on the remote computer starts and PsExec exites with error code 0.
But if I start bamboo then PsExec hangs itself and the batch file on the remote computer don't start.
C:\PsTools>PsExec.exe \\<remote server> -u <user> -p <password> -s -i "C:\batchfile.bat"
PsExec v1.98 - Execute processes remotely

This is my output and where PsExec hangs.
I don't understand why it hangs only when bamboo starts the batch.
Hope someone can help me
[ Program output lost when passed through PsExec ]
there's a bug in psexec and it does redirects correctly when is called by everything different by cmd. You have few more options to start a process on remote machine:
1. http://feldkir.ch/xcmd.htm - it cannot be run on localhost
2. WMIC - also cannot be used on localhost , when host and and user/pass are given
2. SCHTASKS
This is an old question but maybe somebody has the same problem.
The first time you run psexec an eula dialog is shown. In order to avoid bamboo hanging with this dialog you may try the argument \accepteula. For instance:
PsExec.exe \\<remote server> -u <user> -p <password> -s -i "C:\batchfile.bat" -accepteula
Is it possible to execute a Windows shell command on a remote PC when I know its login name and password?
Is it possible to do it using client PC's Windows shell?
If you are in a domain environment, you can also use:
winrs -r:PCNAME cmd
This will open a remote command shell.
psexec \\RemoteComputer cmd.exe
or use ssh or TeamViewer or RemoteDesktop!
This can be done by using PsExec which can be downloaded here
psexec \\computer_name -u username -p password ipconfig
If this isn't working try doing this :-
Open RegEdit on your remote server.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.
Add a new DWORD value called LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
Set its
value to 1.
Reboot your remote server.
Try running PSExec again from
your local server.
You can use native win command:
WMIC /node:ComputerName process call create “cmd.exe /c start.exe”
The WMIC is part of wbem win folder: C:\Windows\System32\wbem
In cmd.exe I enter:
NETSTAT -a -b
=> result not working and show The requested operation requires elevation

You should have administrator rights to do this action
Run cmd.exe from administrator
found following answer from Microsoft :
Open the command prompt by right clicking on the command prompt icon
and select "Run as Administrator"
In Windows 8/8.1 click on Start button, type 'cmd', right click on Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator.
