Run remote script 1

[rowr308]

Hello all,

How can I automatically check (from a remote machine) if a windows 2000 server is up and running. If the server is not running from some reason, a .bat file on the second machine (another windows 2000 server) should be run. I assume ping can check if the server is running. However, I am not sure how I should run the .bat file remotely. Thanks for any suggestions.

Take a look at PSEXEC from Sysinternals. It is free and can run your bat file remotely.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark
