Hello David,<br />
<br />
I have no experience with powershell, but I did try to run your script in Powershell but receive some errors. <br />
<br />
1. First time I ran it, I receive the following error.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2017/04_w16/1157652/2017-04-19_21-36-01.jpg" target="_blank" title="2017-04-19_21-36-01.jpg (149 KB)"><img alt="2017-04-19_21-36-01.jpg" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 800px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2017/04_w16/800_1157652/2017-04-19_21-36-01.jpg" /></a><br />
2. Because of the error from the above, I disabled Windows firewall and enabled WRM from one of the client machine I am testing with. I did the same on Server2, and Server1. I ran the script again and received the following message. <br />
<br />
&nbsp;<a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2017/04_w16/1157655/2017-04-19_21-44-53.jpg" target="_blank" title="2017-04-19_21-44-53.jpg (83 KB)"><img alt="2017-04-19_21-44-53.jpg" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 800px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2017/04_w16/800_1157655/2017-04-19_21-44-53.jpg" /></a><br />
Can you identify what I did wrong? Can this be executed via PSEXEC? If so, can you tell me what commands I have to execute? Thanks for your effort.

The script has not been able to see the computers.txt file on the share you provided, which is strange because in your first attempt it has been there, otherwise you would not have received that WinRM error ... <br />
<br />
But if using PS, I would make use of the multi-threading feature, working on more than one machine at a time:<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42102020-1"><span>$servershare  = &quot;\\Server1\TempSoftware\DPRA&quot;</span>

<span>invoke-command -ComputerName (get-content $computerfile) -ScriptBlock {</span>
<span>      start-process $servershare\InstallDPRAdllFiles.exe -Wait</span>
<span>      Start-Process reg /import $servershare\DPRARgistry.reg -Wait</span>
<span>      shutdown /r /t 0 </span>

Maybe if I provide you the details that IBM vendor needs me to do to mass deploy this app to client machines, that might give you an idea on what needs to be done. I hope this helps (message from IBM vendor):<br />

Yes to the typo, which has been obvious with that error message. But no to the change of the current directory, it needs to be a single line, and even that might fail for external commands. So<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42103581-1"><span>      c:</span>
<span>      set-location -path  \windows\system32</span>
</code></pre>
should be
<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42103581-2"><span>      set-location c:\windows\system32</span>
</code></pre>
or better
<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42103581-3"><span>      set-location $env:WinDir\system32</span>
</code></pre>
</div>

Hello Qlemo,<br />
<br />
I ran the script as you have detailed, but still no luck. I get the error below. Please advise.<br />

Oh yes. you are providing IP addresses ... That does not allow for using Kerberos and hence implicit domain authentication. If in a domain, switch to computer names - then Kerberos is used.<br />
If you are not (staying) in a domain, IP addresses and explicit authentication need to be used, and you need to change settings on your local host as mentioned in the error message.

<div>
As a test, I enabled Windows Remote Management (WS-Management) on the destination computer that I am trying to deploy the app to. &nbsp;I tried the Powershell script again. I now get the following error. Please advise.<br />

Thanks to the both of you for all your efforts. Although I was never able to pull this off in my environment, we decided that we will go around the sneaker net method to do the install one-by-one. I do appreciate the sample PS script.

2. The share will have a <b>Computers.txt</b> file which contains the client IPs to deploy this app to. <br />
<br />
3. The command will also need to execute the <b>DPRARegistry.reg</b> file on the client's computer. <br />
<br />
4. The command should also reboot the clients computer once the .exe and the reg have been executed. <br />
<br />
I will be running the PSEXEC command from another server (e.g. - Server2). <br />

Please detail the PSEXEC command I must run from Server2 to accomplish this given the scenario above. Thank you.<br />

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.

Powershell

PSExec

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
