Has anyone gotten psexec to work with VisualCron? I can't get it to run - it just hangs. I've tried all combinations of run modes (e.g., with profile, managed, api, etc.).

I am on version 4.9.40, but haven't seen any bug reports about this particular condition in new versions.

Shohn, we will test psexec and get back to you.

Hello,
I use psexec in a lot of jobs :
in execute task :
command : c:\windows\psexec
Arguments : \\myserver -u domain\user -p password c:\batchpath\batch.cmd

Run task as :
credentials : the same as in arguments
Logon type : with profile run with API code

If it could help you

Regards

Patrick

Patrick,

Thank you.

I have tried exactly as you suggest, but no workie.

This is on 64 bit system if it helps.

I get the output below on stderr within VisualCron; however, the psexec tool does not go any further. It as though VisualCron tries to launch but then gets hung up during the execution of psexec.exe.

I am able to manually launch the psexec.exe tool from the command line on the same system.


Here is the output I mentioned earlier:

PsExec v1.94 - Execute processes remotely

We tested from Windows 2008 (64bit) against Windows 32 (32bit) with the same settings as PPalatin. We did not get any output though but it was executed.

We noticed that it hangs in two case:

* no credential is specified
* not using the same credential as you manually tried with

Psexec needs you to accept the agreement. That is why it hangs in the background - because the acceptance is "per user". That is why it is important that you use "With profile" and the same user as you are logged in as.
