Starting an Application on a Remote PC ( XP sp3)

[kapik]

Idea is to;

start for example winword.exe on a remote PC so that the remote PC user could see it and start work immidiately.

Solutions that I have already tried out:

1) PSexec.exe with a batch file
2) Basic Telnet operations.. -I am still working on it.

Maybe some of you guys did something like this and could help me out.

Assuming you have admin access on that computer, you can use a VBScipt to make a call to WMI on that machine and create a process.

Rabbit, do you have any example of such a script? :)

A = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationlevel=impersonate}!\\192.168.0.1\root\cimv2:Win32_Process").Create("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\Winword.exe", Null, Null, iProcID)

Thanks for the hint Rabbit !
I'll give this a try :)

Ok, maybe you will find this solution of the problem a bit LAME but:
1) I create a scheduled task @ remote control:
schtasks.exe /create /S REMOTE_PC /RU my_domain\adminLogin /RP admin_pass /SC einmal(I've got german XP :P) /TN "task_name" /TR "program_task_path" /ST 11:11:11

2) then I run it:
schtasks.exe /run /S Remote_Pc /RU my_domain\adminLogin /RP admin_pass /TN "task_name"

Ok, i know that the same might be accomplisched using VB-script but I had no time to learn the principles.

I hope that this small and simple solution will help Ya!

Please post your additional solutions. :)
