do I need administrator password?

[wawanz]

Hi, I developed a VB application, with a pcAnywhere object in it. This application's task is to send a .txt file to the remote computer and run an .exe file on the remote computer. I have 3 remote computers. It works fine with 2 computers (logged in as 'administrator'), but the 3rd one is not an administrator. And this 3rd remote computer can't seem to complete the tasks (receive .txt file and run .exe file). My question is, does this 3rd computer has to be logged in as an administrator to be able to complete these tasks?

Thanks

At a guess, you may need to use 'RunAs' instead of 'Run' to execute the remote exe.

Alternatives may be Sanur (

or PsExec (

both freeware.

Still a guess though
