How to execute a Windows command on a remote PC?

Is it possible to execute a Windows shell command on a remote PC when I know its login name and password? Is it possible to do it using client PC's Windows shell?

If you are in a domain environment, you can also use:

winrs -r:PCNAME cmd 

This will open a remote command shell.

psexec \\RemoteComputer cmd.exe 

or use ssh or TeamViewer or RemoteDesktop!

This can be done by using PsExec which can be downloaded here

psexec \\computer_name -u username -p password ipconfig 

If this isn't working try doing this :-

1. Open RegEdit on your remote server.

2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.

3. Add a new DWORD value called LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy

4. Set its value to 1.
5. Reboot your remote server.
6. Try running PSExec again from your local server.

You can use native win command:

WMIC /node:ComputerName process call create “cmd.exe /c start.exe” 

The WMIC is part of wbem win folder: C:\Windows\System32\wbem
