Scripting Tools
PSExec
Examples:
Copying an updated license file to a list of computers:
psexec @ansoft.txt -u wolftech\bpcarty.admin -p mypassword -ch ansoft.bat
* @ansoft.txt tells it to run program on the computers listed in the txt file
* -u and -p self-explanatory I hope
* -c copies program to computer to run it
* -h for Vista/7 machines, runs with the elevated permissions of the user
The .bat file copies the file from my machine to the correct path on the target machine. I tried to get it to copy it from the Celerra but wasn’t working. I wasn’t using the -u and -p flags when I was trying that though. I just had a cmd prompt open as my .admin, which may not have been enough.
PSGetSid
Used to translate SIDs into something you can recognize.
