run executable on remote machine

[John Grandy]

I need to start an executable (such as a batch file) on a remote machine.

System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt() will not start a new process on a remote
machine ...

Write a listener to run on the remote machine and start the executable
locally? Use WMI?

Hmmmm ... well, how does something like SMS or ActiveDirectory work ? How
do they remotely invoke software installs ? (or are the installation
processes actually run on the server and just manipulate the clients?)

What is WMI? Windows Management Instrumentation ?

Don't know, not my thing.

Yep.

I've never really played with it, and it may have the same restrictions
on launching executables remotely as the .NET classes, but it's worth a
look.
