Hi,
I'm trying to run a batch file on a remote server and capture the output. I've been using PSEXEC, executed as a local Process task but if I tick the "Store standard output" tick box the psexec process will run but never terminate.

If i don't select store output the process will run and terminate correctly.

Any suggestions?

Regards,


Brian

It hangs if you don't specify username and password. It seems like psexec puts output on stderr instead of stdout.

Henrik,
Thanks for the reply. I have specified a username / password in the psexec command line for the remote machine and I use local admin credentials within visualcron?

Does it matter how I execute the task via VisualCron ie: foreground / background, with / without profile or managed / api code?

Thanks,

Brian

Background execution would be the best. Sometimes, depending on requirements from psexec (where it is located and other environment variables) it may require a local login with profile. So, a local login - it should not matter if you use API or managed way here.
