psexec conditional build
 

Visual Build Professional 6.1
Windows XP

Using psexec I can successfully build something remotely using the following command.

psexec \\MACHINENAME -u DOMAIN\USER -p PASSWORD "c:\Program Files\VisBuildPro6\VisBuildCmd.exe" "c:\BuildScripts\PRODUCT.bld"

Is it possible to only run particular groups of actions via the command line?

or

Can we pass a macro value via the command line that will fulfill the conditional build rules?

Yes.

You could also use the VisBuildPro project action to invoke VisBuildCmd remotely via psexec.

There have also been several bug fixes and enhacements since v6.1 related to calling psexec.
