I am trying the list tasks on a Win10 PC from a Win7 PC so I can create a batch script to kill that process.
the following is the code i have typed in command prompt (running in administrator mode)
tasklist /s remotepc /u remotepc\user /p password
This keeps returning the error
ERROR: Logon Failure: unknown username or bad password
I've triple checked the username password and computer name and they are all correct.
I've tried dropping the computer/domain name for the /U command but that did not work.
can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

I am trying to execute following PowerShell query in SQL Server
xp_cmdshell "get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk -AV-RISCVMSQL114 | Format-Table -Property DeviceID,FreeSpace,Size"
After executing this, I am getting error:
'get-WmiObject' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I want to execute this command in all SQL Servers. It's getting executed on SQL Server 2008, but on SQL Server 2012, it's throwing that error due to version or some PowerShell component is not installed.
Can you to please look at the code and let me know
Try:
xp_cmdshell 'PowerShell.exe -noprofile -command "get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk -AV-RISCVMSQL114 | Format-Table -Property DeviceID,FreeSpace,Size"'
If this doesn't work logon to the server open PowerShell with administrator rights. Type Get-ExecutionPolicy and check that Execution Policy is set to Unrestricted. If it isn't then enter the following, then type 'A' (Yes to All):
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
If this still doesn't work try upgrading to at least PowerShell V3. But if this is not possible you can try repair your corrupt PowerShell V2 WMI repository with:
winmgmt /verifyrepository
If repository is found to be inconsistent run Winmgmt /salvagerepository and Winmgmt /resetrepository and verify after each. If it is still inconsistent try the following steps:
Go to Task Manager>> Services >> Open Service >> Windows Management Instrumentation service, and change the start up type to Manual.
Stop the WMI service:
net stop winmgmt
Rename the repository folder (C:\Windows\System32\wbem\Repository) to some else 'Repository_OLD'.
Start the WMI service:
net start winmgmt
Set the service back to auto start.
Failing Re-register all of the dlls and recompile the .mofs in the Wbem directory with the following .bat script and then reboot.
#echo off
sc config winmgmt start= disabled
net stop winmgmt /y
%systemdrive%
cd %windir%\system32\wbem
for /f %%s in (‘dir /b *.dll’) do regsvr32 /s %%s
wmiprvse /regserver
winmgmt /regserver
sc config winmgmt start= auto
net start winmgmt
for /f %%s in (‘dir /s /b *.mof *.mfl’) do mofcomp %%s
I am using psexec(with MSbuild Script) to run an xCopy on a server from Jenkins(Hudson). The command runs ok when run through Command Prompt(as System user), but gives the following error when tried using Jenkins. This is the command I am using from Msbuild script:
psexec \\<RemoteMachine> /accepteula -i -u <Domian\User> -p <Pass> -s cmd /c xcopy <Path1> <Path2> /e /i
PsExec v1.98 - Execute processes remotely

I have tried too many options but no luck so far.
Does anyone tried the same using Jenkins? Help will be really appreciated.
Are there any other ways to achieve this using some other tools without any problem. Please share.
Just wanted to post the solution here, as I figured it after some time.
The Remote Machine should have this user added in the Administrators Group.
This will resolve the connection issue. :)
I am trying to install an application and a group of services using PSTools, but I want to take into account that the computer I am trying to connect to may be turned off or on a different network, which is not reachable from the internal network.
Basically if the machine is not able to be accessed through the admin share, this is the message that I am getting:
Couldn't access MachineName:
The network path was not found.
Make sure that the default admin$ share is enabled on MachineName.
This is the syntax I am using to try to capture the "Error Message" and then report back that if installation was successful or not (depending on if it can contact the machine)
#echo off
set /p name=What is the machine name?:
psexec.exe \\%name% -u *useraccount* -p *password* \\ServerName\installation.bat
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('COMMAND ^| FIND "Couldn't access"') DO SET Error=%%A
If "%Error%"=="Couldn't access"
ECHO Installation Failed.
Else
ECHO Installtion complete.
Pause
exit
Currently it hangs right at the point it's defining the Error Variable. Can't quite figure out what I am going wrong here.
'COMMAND ^| FIND "Couldn't access"' opens a command shell, which is why it hangs. It will not proceed until that shell is exited.
You will need to look at redirecting the error messages to another file. 2>Errors.txt on the psexec line will give you a file to search in the next line.
this will make the batch file look something like this:
#echo off
set /p name=What is the machine name?:
psexec.exe \\\%name% ... \\\ServerName\installation.bat 1>Error.txt 2>&1
for /f "tokens=*" %%A in ('FIND /i error.txt "Couldn't Access"') do SET Error=%%A
If not x%ERROR:Couldn=%==x%ERROR% (
ECHO Installation Failed.
) Else (
ECHO Installtion complete.
)
Pause
exit
(Also, notice the use of brackets to make a multi line IF)
the check for if will see if Couldn is part of the string, as a direct comparison will not work, as you would have to check against the whole string including the machine name
I created a custom windows service in Visual Basic using Visual Studios '05.
The service is on our server which is running Windows Server 2003. I have installed the service, and it runs perfectly when I go into Computer Management and Start the service manually.
I have created a batch file to start the service using the NET START command. Whenever I run the batch file, the service doesn't start. I get this message from the command prompt:
The 'Service Name' is starting.
The 'Service Name' could not be started. The service did not report an error. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3543.
I'm not sure what to do. (Been "googling" for a couple of hours.) It starts up when I manually run it, but it wont start via the batch file. Thanks!
Try forcing it to elevate in the batch file.
#ECHO OFF
:: Automatically elevate...
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
:: Check if script was run with administrator privilages
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"
:: If the error flag is set, we do not have admin.
IF "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" GOTO GOTADMIN
:UACPROMPT
ECHO. Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
ECHO. UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
"%TEMP%\getadmin.vbs"
EXIT /B
:GOTADMIN
if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ( del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" )
CD /D "%~dp0"
ENDLOCAL
GOTO SCRIPTSTART

:SCRIPTSTART
NET START [whatever service]
I desperately need help to create a vb / dos code which will do the following:
Check if a command prompt window is running with the following command: mgms A1 (mgms is a custom command)
If it is running, exit.
If it is not running, start cmd prompt and run the command , exit
Thanks a lot for your help!
The Windows cmd.exe batch language is horrible, but you should be able to put this in a batch file and get it working:
tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq mgms.exe" 2>&1 | findstr /B "INFO: No tasks running" > tmp
for /F "delims=" %x in (tmp) do mgms A1
You may need to further check that the command-line arguments to mgms.exe match what you expect -- have a look at the help for tasklist.exe and findstr.exe. Both programs are both standard in WinXP Pro and up, I believe. If you don't have them, I'm sure you can find them or (near) equivalents on the web.
