How to execute a Windows command on a remote PC?

Is it possible to execute a Windows shell command on a remote PC when I know its login name and password? Is it possible to do it using client PC's Windows shell?

Solution 1:

If you are in a domain environment, you can also use:

winrs -r:PCNAME cmd

This will open a remote command shell.

Solution 2:

psexec \\RemoteComputer cmd.exe

or use ssh or TeamViewer or RemoteDesktop!

Solution 3:

This can be done by using PsExec which can be downloaded here

psexec \\computer_name -u username -p password ipconfig

If this isn't working try doing this :-

1. Open RegEdit on your remote server.

2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.

3. Add a new DWORD value called LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy

4. Set its value to 1.
5. Reboot your remote server.
6. Try running PSExec again from your local server.

Solution 4:

You can use native win command:

WMIC /node:ComputerName process call create “cmd.exe /c start.exe”

The WMIC is part of wbem win folder: C:\Windows\System32\wbem
