Distributable PsExec Alternative

Hi Allan.

PsExec contains another executable as a binary resource.

This executable is like a Win32 service that acts like a server. The main program creates a file in :
"\\RemoteSystemName\ADMIN$\System32" and saves the resource file inside. This is how it works.

I've never saw another application providing the same options like PsExec but I am sure that if one is around it will be marked as a virus/trojan like PsExec for many AVs.
So using something other than PsExec, even PsExec is bad for distribution in general!

Anyway if you can mimic the things PsExec do you can build something like this too and distribute your application until its marked as a virus from AVs.

if all the alternatives won't work beautifully as you expected, why don't you just simply provide a link from your deployment application and allow end users to install PsExec themselves and your application call it afterward? :-))

I was in your other thread, and I still dont know why it needs to be included with the setup of your app...

If a package is run on the server to install it locally, are you trying to make it install remotely on the clients to as a part of the process??

Hi John,

My application needs to reside on all the machines within the LAN of my customer. One machine is designated as the Server. All clients interact via Sockets to the Server and to each other. No sharing of drives is necessary. If I do not remotely install the clients then I will need to physically go to every machine in the office and request the user to hand me the machine for at least a minute. This I have been doing till now.
PsExec has come as a saviour. If other options do not work then I may have to settle in for bbao's solution. CodedK has given fantastic input too.

Thanks
Allan

Is there an AD Domain involved?

Not really. Why do you ask ?

Theres other ways to deploy applications natively in GPO......

Hi,

My application needs to be installed on any (and across any)  platform of windows, Win98/2000 onwards.

My Application Server can be installed on a low end win98 machine too.

If remote install does not happen across some platforms it is quite OK.

Is there any Delphi code equivalent to PSExec basic code. If not I will settle in for Download from the net at user end.

Thanks
Allan

Sorry, not a coder....

Might go as far as to contact MS Support and inquire about thier licensing....
