Remote Command

How would I run a remote command (i.e., C:\MyModule.exe) on another Win2K3 server from an ASP page?

kevp75

you wouldn't.

It is too much of a security risk to allow that to happen through code

I agree with @kevp75, but its not completely impossible but i would not suggest anything as to how to go about it.

I would rather suggest you have the copy of your EXE on the server and RUN it as below...

Set WshShell = Wscript.CreateObject ("Wscript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "http://servername/path/executablefile.exe", 1, false

Also if you use ASPExec and try the below code then you should be able to RUN it behind(at the backdrop of windows) nothing would be visible i guess...You will need ASPExec DLL.

You will get the same on http://www.serverobjects.com/products.htm

Then register the dll.

<% Response.CacheControl = "no-cache" %>>
<% Response.AddHeader "Pragma", "no-cache" %>
<% Response.Expires = -1 %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Run exe file</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
Dim Executor
Dim strResult
Set Executor = Server.CreateObject("ASPExec.Execute")
Executor.Application = "C:\WINNT\system32\Calc.exe"

Executor.Parameters = ""
Executor.ShowWindow = True
Executor.TimeOut = 120
strResult = Executor.ExecuteWinApp
%>
Ok, check this out<br>
</body>
</html>

If you don't get the ASPExec DLL on the site specified then search the web you should be able to get it.

not to make myself out to be a pessimist but, I really hope this is on an intranet that you are using this....and not a public site.

It's not difficult to download a page and get your username and password, and wreck havok on the machine(network) this will be running on....

just my 2c...
