Hi,

I have two scripts ... one that copies the second script down to the c:\ of all PC's listed in my computers.txt file ... this works fine ... my second script once copied down to the PC, should then pull some files down from a server share, and then run an MSI

Now this script works fine if you run it locally on your machine, however when you try run it remotely on a client pc, it doesnt copy the files down from the server share ...

I've been told that this always happens and you need to enable control delegation so that script can authenticate to the server to pull the files down, from your credentials from your machine ... both PC's are logged in as me, which has admin rights on both boxes

Does anyone know a way around this? I can visit each machine, login as me, and run the script fine, but it's about 50 PC's and i cant be bothered to walk around doing them all individually lol

Thanks

Take a look at PSexec from PStools. It is a sysinternals tool available on technet.

Try something like this. Send in the params to Xcopy down the file. They will be something like this

"xcopy \\servername\sharename\filename.ext c:\"

Call like this

createprocess.vbs computername "xcopy \\servername\sharename\filename.ext c:\" c:\

Save below as createprocess.vbs

Dim sComputer        'computer name
Dim sCmdLine        'command line of the process
Dim sCurDir        'working directory of the process
Dim oProcess        'object representing the Win32_Process class
Dim oMethod        'object representing the Create method

Dim oInPar        'object representing input parameters of the method
Dim oOutPar        'object representing output parameters of the method

sComputer         = WScript.Arguments(0)
sCmdLine         = WScript.Arguments(1)
sCurDir         = WScript.Arguments(2)

Set oProcess         = GetObject("winmgmts://" & sComputer & _
           "/root/cimv2:Win32_Process")
Set oMethod         = oProcess.Methods_("Create")
Set oInPar         = oMethod.inParameters.SpawnInstance_()
oInPar.CommandLine     = sCmdLine
oInPar.CurrentDirectory = sCurDir
Set oOutPar         = oProcess.ExecMethod_("Create", oInPar)

If oOutPar.ReturnValue     = 0 Then
 WScript.Echo "Create process method completed successfully"
 WScript.Echo "New Process ID is " & oOutPar.ProcessId
Else
 WScript.Echo "Create process method failed"
End If

Let me know if it works for you.

I use something similar, but I grabbed this one from here...http://www.serverwatch.com/tutorials/article.php/1476821

If it doesn't work then I'll see if I can't remove the necessary code from what I use.

Or there's always this method.

And if all that isn't to your liking, there's always this behemoth... (Scheduled Task) http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/scriptshop/shop0305c.mspx

If you've read this far, you are probably liking the idea of PSEXEC right about now... Unless you are a Glutton for Punishment.
