like Telnet and remote control programs like Symantec's
PC Anywhere let you execute programs on remote systems,
but they can be a pain to set up and require that
you install client software on the remote systems
that you wish to access. PsExec is a light-weight
telnet-replacement that lets you execute processes
on other systems, complete with full interactivity
for console applications, without having to manually
install client software. PsExec's most powerful
uses include launching interactive command-prompts
on remote systems and remote-enabling tools like
IpConfig that otherwise do not have the ability
to show information about remote systems. |
