PAExec lets you launch Windows programs on remote Windows computers without needing to install software on the remote computer first. For example, you could launch CMD.EXE remotely and have the equivalent of a terminal session to the remote server. PAExec is useful for doing remote installs, checking remote configuration, etc.
Microsoft's PsExec tool (originally by SysInternal's Mark Russinovich) is a favorite of system administrators everywhere. It just has two tiny flaws:
PsExec can not be redistributed
Sensitive command-line options like username and passwords are sent as clear text
We needed something that would overcome those two issues, and not finding a suitable replacement, decided to write out own.
Anyone can download and use PAExec. You can include it in your open source, freeware and even commercial applications. You may distribute it on your website, on CDs, mail to friends, etc. There is no cryptography built in so there aren't any export restrictions that we know of.
Standard PAExecPsExec command line options:
-a Separate processors on which the application can run with
commas where 1 is the lowest numbered CPU. For example,
to run the application on CPU 2 and CPU 4, enter:
-a 2,4
-c Copy the specified program to the remote system for
execution. If you omit this option the application
must be in the system path on the remote system.
-d Don't wait for process to terminate (non-interactive).
This option is not compatible with -to
-e Does not load the specified account's profile.
-f Copy the specified program even if the file already
exists on the remote system. Requires -c
-i Run the program so that it interacts with the desktop of the
specified session on the specified system. If no session is
specified the process runs in the console session.
-h If the target system is Vista or higher, has the process
run with the account's elevated token, if available.
-l [EXPERIMENTAL] Run process as limited user (strips the
Administrators group and allows only privileges assigned to
the Users group). On Windows Vista the process runs with Low
Integrity.
-n Specifies timeout in seconds connecting to remote computers.
-p Specifies optional password for user name. If you omit this
you will be prompted to enter a hidden password. Also see
-p@ and -p@d below.
-s Run the process in the System account.
-u Specifies optional user name for login to remote
computer.
-v Copy the specified file only if it has a higher version number
or is newer than the one on the remote system. Requires -c
-w Set the working directory of the process (relative to
remote computer).
-x Display the UI on the Winlogon secure desktop (Local System
only).
- Specify -low, -belownormal, -abovenormal, -high or
-realtime to run the process at a different priority. Use
-background to run at low memory and I/O priority on Vista.
computer Direct PAExec to run the application on the remote
computer or computers specified. If you omit the computer
name PAExec runs the application on the local system,
and if you specify a wildcard (\*), PAExec runs the
command on all computers in the current domain.
@file PAExec will execute the command on each of the computers
listed in the file.
program Name of application to execute.
arguments Arguments to pass (note that file paths must be absolute
paths on the target system).
Additional options only available in PAExec:
-cnodel If a file is copied to the server with -c, it is normally
deleted (unless -d is specified). -cnodel indicates the file
should not be deleted.
-clist When using -c (copy), -clist allows you to specify a text
file that contains a list of files to copy to the target.
The text file should just list file names, and the files
should be in the same folder as the text file.
Example: -c -clist "C:test pathfilelist.txt"
filelist.txt might contain:
myapp.exe
mydata.dat
Myapp.exe and mydata.dat would need to be in C:test path
in the example above.
IMPORTANT: The first file listed is assumed to be the one that
will be executed.
-clist and -csrc cannot be used together.
-csrc When using -c (copy), -csrc allows you to specify an
alternate path to copy the program from.
Example: -c -csrc "C:test pathfile.exe"
-dbg Output to DebugView (OutputDebugString)
-dfr Disable WOW64 File Redirection for the new process
-lo Log Output to file. Ex: -lo C:TempPAExec.log
The file will be UTF-8 with a Byte Order Mark at the start.
-p@ Will read the first line of the given file and use that as the
password. File should be saved as UTF-8 with or without
Byte Order Mark.
-p@d Deletes the file specified by -p@ as soon as the password is
read.
-rlo Remote Log Output: Log from remote service to file (on remote
server).
Ex: -rlo C:TempPAExec.log
The file will be UTF-8 with a Byte Order Mark at the start.
-to Timeout in seconds. The launched process must exit within this
number of seconds or it will be terminated. If it is terminated,
the exit code will be -10
This option is not compatible with -d
Ex: -to 15
Terminate the launched process after 15 seconds if it doesn't shut down first
-noname In order to robustly handle multiple simultaneous connections to a server,
the source server's name is added to the remote service name and remote PAExec
executable file. If you do NOT want this behavior, use -noname
