PSEXEC

Hi there

 

How can I use psexec to run batch file as admin

Yes I cant remember the switch. You can also run as system which bypasses uac.

I'm assuming this has to be on a remote computer as you could just use runas if it's on the local machine.

 

The syntax is:

 

psexec \\computername command

 

Switches (that I've used anyway):

 

-accepteula (I always sling this in just in case, so you don't get any annoying prompts)

-d (don't wait for the remote process to terminate)

-i (run the process interactively such that it appears on the screen)

-s (run the process as LocalSystem)

-x (run the process on the WinLogon desktop - requires additional customisation to work properly)

 

You can combine switches like this:

 

psexec \\computername -accepteula -dis command

 

So this will run the command as LocalSystem, it can interact with the desktop and PsExec on your end won't wait for it to complete before terminating (useful if iterating through a list of computers, where the command is guaranteed to succeed, in e.g. a batch script).
