Would like to ask if there's any way to execute a DOS command on a remote server? (e.g. on Server A, run dos command "dir" to query files of Server B) Thanks

You could map the default share 'C$' then simply use the 'CMD' window to navigate the drive.

m.... but i need to run various dos command instead of just "dir". Any other ways to run dos command on a remote server ?

You could turn on the Telnet server. 1. Go to control panel 2. Administrative Tools 3. Telnet Server Administration -------- It is not the best ( nothing like logging into a Linux box ) -- but you will be able to do a few things.

What about this then: The 'AT' command is usually for scheduling commands remotely at whatever time, but if you don't enter a time it'll run imidiately. eg: at \\servername winword.exe For a DOS command, precede the command with 'CMD'. The full syntax for this can be found in the file: C:\winnt\help\ntcmds.chm Hope this helps.

Hi, Mark, I've tried at \\servername winword.exe but it seems not allow me to input no time (it returns the usage menu) Any more idea on run a dos command on a remote server ? does windows script work ?

Couldn't you try sticking a time in a few minutes ahead? Below's probably a better example than the one I gave before: at \\server 15:05 cmd /c ping server2 This'll schedule 'cmd /c ping server2' in the scheduled tasks to run in five minutes time (assuming it's 15:00), it'll then delete itself once ran.
