Windows – Executing a batch file in a remote machine through PsExec

powershell-3.0psexecsysinternalswindows

I am trying to run a batch file (in the batch file I have just written 'notepad') on a remote PC through PSExec. The psexec command below runs in my laptop but fails to do anything on the remote PC. I don't even see 'notepad' running on the list of processes in the remote machine. 

c:\Program Files (x86)\PSTools>psexec -u administrator -p force \\135.20.230.160 -s -d cmd.exe /c -c "C:\Amtra\bogus.bat"

cmd.exe started on 135.24.237.167 with process ID 1520.

Anyone can help me where I am going wrong here?

Thanks,

You have an extra -c you need to get rid of:

psexec -u administrator -p force \\135.20.230.160 -s -d cmd.exe /c "C:\Amitra\bogus.bat"
