Executing remote commands

[pjaiswal]

I am trying to run a command on a remote machine using PsExec (PsExec.exe in C:\Windows\System32\ on local computer) & the Remote tab feature.

I have created a bat file on \\xyzmachine\ called c:\abc\test.bat, which has a single command: md C:\testfolder. I created a build script which should run this bat file on xyzmachine. I also logged the command being used in this step, which is

PsExec \\xyzmachine -u xyz -p xyz cmd /c c:\abc\Test.bat


Running this command on the command line on my machine just works fine and it creates a folder on the remote machine. But when I run it using the build script, though the folder is created on the remote machine as desired but it does not exit the step in the build script. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Pragya

Also, this works fine when tested on the local computer. the step completes successfully after creating the folder.

Thanks,

Not sure. Try using v6.2 and
http://www.visualbuild.com/Manual/programremotetab.htm

If that doesn't help, please ZIP and send or post:
1) The info from Help | About | Install Info
2) The Windows version+SP of the remote computer
3) A reproducible test case (.bld file that can be built here and reproduces the problem)
4) A build log file

Thanks.

Thanks! I had 6.1 on my machine, upgrading it to 6.2 solved the problem.

thanks again!
