Start app on remote machine

  • 772

I have a remote machine running windows 7. It has two users. It has the default user with no password which is used for home theater purposes. I have a separate login I use for remote desktop. I would like to be able to be able to remote into my account and use a console command to start an application on the local login account.

Any ideas?

  1. PsExec sounds like the app you are looking for.

    psexec \\computer -u user -p psswd  cmd [arguments]

    There are a lot of options such as which session to use as well.

    You can use powershell. Windows 7 shipped with powershell 2.0, which has a lot of great remote utilities.

    You can either open a new tab to a remote shell, or use winrm. These are both "native".

  3. I may have an answer, but I don't want to give you something that won't let you achieve the desired result.

    Can you tell us why you need to launch an application as the other user?
