Run a batch file remotely

Hello,
I am looking for a way to remotely run a batch file on another computer. Our
backup software runs on one server, and a database I need to “detach� for
backup is on another server. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dane

Curious, why not simply use Remote Desktop to connect and run it?

You can also copy the bat file to the other machine. Then you can use psexec
to run it in a command prompt.

PsExecPsExec is a light-weight telnet-replacement that lets you execute
processes on other systems, complete with full interactivity for console
applications, ...

I am not using Remote Desktop becuase I am trying to automate everything so
that it does not require human intervention and will run on a consistant
schedule.

I have played around with the PsExec, and I think it is going to work fine
for what I need.

Best Regards,
Dane
