Activate Executable On Remote Computer?

[Sasstraliss]

Is there a script that makes the specified remote computer run a specified .exe that is already on the target computer?

This is for our small network, we have our access protection program, but no way to activate it.

After having registry problems, we decided we wanted a script that does what I mentioned above.

Could someone help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

First make sure that the target PC is set to execute scripts remotely

Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strComputer = "RemoteComputerName"

Set objRegProv = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=Impersonate}" & _
 "!\\" & strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
 
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings"
objRegProv.SetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,"Remote","1"

Then you can use the WSHController object.

Dim Controller, RemoteScript 
Set Controller = WScript.CreateObject("WSHController" ) 
Set RemoteScript = Controller.CreateScript(" script.vbs" , " RemoteSystem" ) 
WScript.ConnectObject RemoteScript, " remote_" 
RemoteScript.Execute 

Do While RemoteScript.Status <> 2 
WScript.Sleep 100 
Loop
