PSExec launch script

Wed, 11 May 2011 15:10:32 +0000

Tired of typing the psexec command with all the command line options? Here’s a short PsExec launch script I wrote today. Using this allows you to just type the remote computer’s computer name or IP address and then launches the command prompt.

@echo off
Echo

SET user= *ADD USERNAME HERE
*SET pwd= ADD PASSWORD HERE

:START
SET /P Node=Computername or IP Address:
IF “%node%"==”" GOTO :START

Echo.
Echo Starting PSEXEC on %node%
Echo.
psexec -u %user% -p %pwd% \%node% cmd

So what are all these svchost.exe doing ? To get a detailed overview of each running svchost.exe you can run the follwing command at the command prompt that will list each svchost process its PID and the running services.
