asked on Psexec - a script to use Psexec to copy a folder from one server to multiple PC's?
Hi guys,
I've got a script here that OdBA created for me a while back which was to execute a .msi file from a shared location on our server to multiple PC's using the Psexec command.
Here it is:
@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set MachineFile=C:\Temp\machin
set LogFile=C:\Temp\machines.c
>"%LogFile%" echo "Machine","State","Errorle
for /f %%a in ('type "%MachineFile%"') do (
echo Processing %%a ...
ping.exe -4 -n 2 %%~a | find /i "TTL" >NUL
if errorlevel 1 (
>>"%LogFile%" echo "%%~a","Offline","n/a"
) else (
ECHO c:\psexec.exe \\%%~a -u Domain\Username -p Password msiexec.exe /i "\\networkservername\share
>>"%LogFile%" echo "%%~a","Online","!ErrorLev
)
)
echo Done.
Is there a way to modify this so that it can copy a folder from the server share, to a folder on PC's with different IP's?
Thanks a lot

If I wanted to remove the username/password, can I remove this:
c:\psexec.exe \\%%~a -u Domain\Username -p Password msiexec.exe /i "\\networkservername\share
And replace it with
robocopy.exe \\server\share\folder*.* \\%%~a\c$\temp?
c:\psexec.exe \\%%~a -u Domain\Username -p Password msiexec.exe /i "\\networkservername\share
And replace it with
robocopy.exe \\server\share\folder*.* \\%%~a\c$\temp?
Yes. Even with the psexec.exe, the whole script can be placed in a scheduled tasked with the credentials as a run once task. That way the password isn't stored in plain text. I would always avoid using plain text passwords where I can.

Thank you guys for the help.
So in terms of the username/password details of the domain, will that still remain?
