PsExec - Run Programm on Remote Computer (Windows)

On 1st of April there will be elections in Lucerne. We are responsible for the application as well as for server infrastructure and redundancy of the whole solution. It’s a very important project for the public administration of Lucerne (which I work for). One important part of the project is to publish provisional election results on the internet during election day. Result pages are generated using SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). Whenever somebody adds results, reports have to be rendered on whichever reportserver is available. The rendering process on the report server has to be started from the Oracle database server. A script on server B has to be started from server A.

With PsExec a programm on server B can easily be started from server A. Here is a sample:

C:> psexec \\serverb -u domain\username -p password c:\programme\gugus\helloworld.exe

If you login on server A and server B with the same domain account, you can omit -u and -p. PsExec can be downloaded here.
