asked on Need assistance in using psexec in vbscript
I am trying to use psexec in my vbscript to run certain programs as an administrator.
Lets take cmd prompt for example. I use the psexec command to open the cmd prompt on the local machine as using admin credentials. The problem is that it opens up, but then closes right away. Here is the code I am using
objShell.Exec ("psexec.exe \\" & strComputerName & "-u " & strUsername1 & "-p " & strPassword & "cmd.exe")
Is there an argument I can use or something to do this?

Could also be the missing space
objShell.Exec ("psexec.exe \\" & strComputerName & " -u " & strUsername1 & " -p " & strPassword & "cmd.exe")
You are missing the spaces....
Try this.

Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strPSExec = "C:\Temp\PSExec.exe"
strPSExec = objFSO.GetFile(strPSExec).ShortPath
strComputer = "compname"
strUser = "user"
strPass = "pass"
strCmd = "cmd /k " & strPSExec & " -accepteula " & " \\" & strComputer & " -u " & strUser & " -p " & strPass & " cmd.exe"
objShell.Run strCmd, 1, True

Thanks Rob. That worked really well!
One more thing though. Is there anyway to get the vbscript to continue going instead of waiting for psexec to be done. Also, when I run this command, it opens up the psexec cmd window, and the cmd window that psexec opened up. Is there any way I can make it so that the psexec window is hidden, or make it close when I close the cmd window?
