PSExec run remote batch file

batch-filepsexecremote desktop

I wanna run remote a batch file with PSExec, so my code looks like this:

cd C:\PsTools
PsExec.exe \\<computer> -u <user> -p <password> -s -i <"pathToBatchFile\batch.bat">  
exit

After I call the batch file on the remote computer, the application on the remote computer is starting under the SYSTEM account. I wanna start it under another account.

How can I do this?

You should not use the -s switch.

From the docs:

-s Run remote process in the System account.

How to pass arguments to a batch file

Another useful tip is to use %* to mean "all". For example:

echo off
set arg1=%1
set arg2=%2
shift
shift
fake-command /u %arg1% /p %arg2% %*

When you run:

test-command admin password foo bar

the above batch file will run:

fake-command /u admin /p password admin password foo bar

I may have the syntax slightly wrong, but this is the general idea.

Split long commands in multiple lines through Windows batch file

You can break up long lines with the caret ^ as long as you remember that the caret and the newline following it are completely removed. So, if there should be a space where you're breaking the line, include a space. (More on that below.)

Example:

copy file1.txt file2.txt

would be written as:

copy file1.txt^
 file2.txt
