Hello:

I am sorry but I am a newbie to scripting. I have created a vb script to do an uninstall of an application. I want to target computers and run the script against them and record the output to a file. I know I can put this in a logon script and let it run that way but I really need to target the machines and run it that way.

Does anyone know of a way to run a script agains another computer remotely?

Thanks.

You could check out PSEXEC from the pstools suite from sysinternals (http://www.sysinternals.com/).

Maybe that will allow you to do what you want...

intStatus = Instance.Create(Command, null, null, intProcessId)

If intStatus = 0 Then

If intProcessId < 0 Then
'4294967296 is 0x100000000.
intProcessId = intProcessId + 4294967296
End If

themsg = "Succeeded in executing " & Command & "." & vbCRLF
msgbox themsg & vbcrlf & "The process id is " & intProcessId & "."
Else
msgbox "Failed to execute " & Command & ". " & Err.Description

End If
