RE: remote scripting how to

Thanks for your reply. I re-engineered the following script from the example
you sent me; it seems to spawn the exe on the remote server but it stays on a
hung status; if i check taskmanager i can see the exe sitting there on the
remote server but not doing what its supose to do, any thoughts?

On Error Resume Next
Const x= "some.exe"
If Right(UCase(wscript.FullName), 11) = "WSCRIPT.EXE" Then
wscript.echo "ERROR: You must run this script using cscript, for
example 'cscript " & wscript.scriptname & "'."
wscript.quit 0
End If
ipFile = "RemoteServer"
PathToExe = "E:\folder\subFolder\"

Set onet = CreateObject("wscript.network")
Set ofs = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
' Make sure to end with a \ character.
If Right(PathToExe, 1) <> "\" Then
PathToExe = PathToExe & "\"
End If
'Note that cim_datafile does not support UNC paths
'so everything must be handled through mapped drives.
If Left(PathToExe, 2) = "\\" Then
wscript.echo "<PathToExe> cannot be a UNC path, please map a drive
locally"
wscript.quit
End If

exeX = ofs.getfile(PathToExe + lifeCare).Name

Set osvcLocal = GetObject("winmgmts:root\cimv2")

'The error-handling code is below the function that may throw one - execute
it.
On Error Resume Next

'While Not oipFile.atEndOfStream

ip = "SOMEIPAddress"
wscript.echo vbCrLf & "Connecting to " & ip & "..."

Err.Clear
Set osvcRemote = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & ip & "\root\cimv2")

If (Err.Number <> 0) Then
wscript.echo "Failed to connect to " & ip & "."
Else

wscript.echo "Running some.exe" & "..."
Set oprocess = osvcRemote.Get("win32_process")

' Run exe without user interaction
ret = oprocess.Create("E:\\folder\\subFolder\\some.exe")
If (ret <> 0) Then
wscript.echo "Failed to start process on " & ip & ": " & ret
Else

wscript.echo "Installation successful."

End If 'Create process succeeded.

End If ' Do the next IP address, then the next IP address...


oipFile.close()

wscript.echo vbCrLf & "Run complete. Exiting."
