psexec - The greatest thing since buttered bread

[stratisphere]

Sure, it's good for remote installing stuff... but i've found a better use...

 

psexec -c -d -i \\machineName "c:\Program Files\Real Alternative\Media Player Classic\mplayer.exe" "c:\SNL-WhatIsLove.wmv" /fullscreen

 

On a member of staff's machine while their on it is the funniest thing ever!

The possibilities are endless

Had and used this idea already... extremely funny

I use beyondexec sometimes to send whingy kids to pampers.com after they've had their games banned. The volume and level of threats increases most amusingly.

 

Also got a 1280x1024 jpg of a babys dummy that I fire up, just to REALLY infuriate them.

PS Exec really is the best tool since sliced bread!! Its a proper tool for the Techy!!

I'm trying to run this on a colleague's PC to test, MPC is starting but says "file not found".

C:\>psexec -c -d -i \\MachineName "C:\Program Files\Media Player Classic\mplayerc.exe" "C:\Roxbury.flv" /fullscreen

 

I've also tested with a WMV and had the same result.

[stratisphere]

make sure you change \\machinename to the name of the machine you want to do it to, also the "c:\progr..." bit needs to actually exist on your machine. If media player classic (or your other fav media player) is somewhere... simply replace the path.

 

Oh, you must also have admin privs for the pc your doing it to as you basically create a remote service & do some file copies etc.

It's all good until it tries to play the file. psExec says mplayerc.exe is started on his PC and I'm a domain admin...

When kids wont get off streaming radio/video i use

sndrec32 /play /close "\\apps1\readonly$\sounds\annoy.wav"

I have to say I never came across this before! looks great, would I be able to roll out the latest version of sims to staff machines on the network?

Just a reminder that PSexec and all other WMI based remote control methods carry data in clear text (think automated telnet). Also you don't have access to network shares unless you are willing to send domain logins across the wire in clear text.

I spent most of our last afternoon opening and closing the rest of the offices CD drives.
