Trying to run an install .exe on a remote PC. How can this be done in passive mode, so that all default options are used and the program installs? So far, I can only get the Welcome Page for the install program to appear.

Thanks.

I’m trying to run psexec with an exe that contains this line of code:
gfx.CopyFromScreen(0, 0, 0, 0, new Size(screenWidth, screenHeight), CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy);

It will hit an exception when run on a remote computer, but runs fine locally.

This is the exception:
Unhandled Exception: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The handle is invalid

at System.Drawing.Graphics.CopyFromScreen(Int32 sourceX, Int32 sourceY, Int32
destinationX, Int32 destinationY, Size blockRegionSize)
at TakeScreenShot.Program.Main(String[] args)
c:\\browsershotsexes\\TakeScreenShot.exe exited on TestVistaErtang with error code
-532459699.

Thanks, Eric


PS This is all the code for the exe:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Text;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace TakeScreenShot
{
class Program
{
#region Console Window property stuff
[DllImport("kernel32.dll", ExactSpelling = true)]
private static extern IntPtr GetConsoleWindow();

private static IntPtr ThisConsole = GetConsoleWindow();

[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
private static extern bool ShowWindow(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow);
private const int HIDE = 0;
private const int MAXIMIZE = 3;
private const int MINIMIZE = 6;
private const int RESTORE = 9;
#endregion
static void Main(string[] args)
{

ShowWindow(ThisConsole, HIDE); //Hides Console Window
Console.WriteLine("Minimizing the Current Console Window...");
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);
Rectangle scrBounds = Screen.GetBounds(new Point(0, 0));
int screenWidth = scrBounds.Width;
Console.WriteLine(screenWidth);

Regarding the post by Rajeevnair81 on September 19, 2006:

I believe the problem you encountered stems from fact that PSEXEC, per the article, will "redirect console applications' output to the local system". The key phrase being "console applications". Notepad and other programs that have a Graphical User Interface (GUI) are not console-type programs.

I too would like some way to initiate/start a GUI-type program on a remote computer that would continue running after my connection to that remote computer has ended. Most "remote control" programs are either of the Window's "Remote Desktop" or VNC approach, or like TelNet/SSH/PSExec approach that seem to fly under the level of a GUI, handling only console output. Great for many, many tasks, but not what I (& perhaps Rajeevnair81) are looking for.

Good utility. But requires autocomplete(Tab) while using cmd.
Can u tell me is there any way to autocomplete in psexec.

I'm trying to run the PSExec Tool on a remote server in order to change the System Time. Problem is, this process is being called within a simple bat script and I have concerns exposing sensitive data, such as, Server's Administrator UserName and Password in clear text. I'm trying to run this tool using a regular user account modified with elevated privileges.

I believe the only Privilege Usage requirements needed to execute this task are as shown below. As a result, I added the corresponding User Right Assignments to Joe user hoping that would solve the issue. Sadly though, this did not work. Am I missing something else or is my requirement not possible?

Thx. Ron

SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege (Replace a process- level token)

SeCreateTokenPrivilege (Create a token object)

SeSystemEnvironmentPrivilege (Modify firmware environment variables)

SeSecurityPrivilege (Manage auditing and security log)

SeBackupPrivilege (Backup files and directories)

I'm sure the article is very useful but I will never know because it would cost me a minimum of $49.95 to read it.
