NETSVC.EXE crossing domain question

[kb0ogt]

i need to use netsvc.exe to stop and restart a critical service on a server. the problem is that the server that is hosting the .bat file that will do this is on a different domain than the target machine. when the .bat file is fired i get a access denied error in a cmd window.

is there any arguements i can put in the .bat file to authenticate from the host machine to the target machine?

you can try adding /RUNAS:domain\user at the end of the command, this will allow you to enter credentials using another user.

like this?

c:\netsvc.exe cuservice \\servername /stop
echo Pausing 15 seconds
sleep 15
c:\netsvc.exe cuservice \\servername /start
/RUNAS:domain\user

 

[itsp1965]

in this case you would need to to apply the /runas at the end of each netsvc statement. What you can do though is to authenticate yourself to the server first like using net use \\servername /user:domain\useracct and from there you can just run the command as is

excellent, this is what i did and it works. Thank you very much!

net use \\servername /user:domain.local\administrator pw:xxxxxxxx
c:\netsvc.exe service \\servername /stop
echo Pausing 15 seconds
sleep 15
c:\netsvc.exe service \\servername /start
