I am running an exe, that copies a seperate exe (test123.exe)from my computer and puts it onto a remote server "testserver". Everything  works fine up to this point. I need to run this copied exe (test123.exe) on "testserver" but it keeps running on my computer instead. The code I am using to run the exe is below. What am I doing wrong? How can I get this executable to run on the remote server and not my home computer? 

RunWait( "\\testserver.domain.com\c$\user1\greichert\Desktop\InstallEXE\InstallEXE\test123.exe","\\testserver.domain.com\c$\Users\user1\Desktop\InstallEXE\InstallEXE");run exe

You need to run the script on the remote server, not the local computer. PSEXEC would be a better choice.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

Use PSEXEC to shell a program on a remote PC.

@greichert as with your previous post, you need to actually read the help file. Nowhere in in the help file entry for RunWait does it say anything about supporting remote execution.
