Psexec commands, usage

PsExec is one of the tools in the excellent PsTools package suite . It is a command line tool allowing the execution of processes on a remote system and transfer the results of operations to the console (to your computer) To work PsExec needs on the local and remote computer file and printer sharing and remote system service should be enabled and also default administrative share Admin $.

 To start, download PsTools  to your computer and then unpack to a directory eg c: \.

Then enter the command line (cmd), go to the directory c: \ PsTools and we can use psexec.exe.

Generally, if you have administrative privileges for easest use, you can copy files in the directory PsTools to% systemroot% \ system32.

This enables us regardless of our position in the hierarchy of folders, use the commands contained in the package.
