Talha Bin Tariq

neat!

Hi Tariq,

I have been looking for such utility for a long time. I used Net-Telnet to invoke remote programs on Unix boxes. I did use this tool and it’s very handy. You have done a great job!!.
I am looking forward to hear from you.
BTW:- Where are you located?

Cheers,

Talha,

Its wonderful tool, it works fine for me over PsTools(psexec). I have little problem, please advise me.

C:\>pstools\remcom \\172.20.1.184 /user:administrator /pwd:epoint0fe reg query HKLM\
Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion /v ProductName

Initiating Connection to Remote Service . . . Ok
Error: Too many command-line parameters
Remote command returned 1(0×1)

Very cool application any change of adding the ability to load a users profile like psexec

‘-e Loads the specified account’s profile’

I have tried to fix this the above problem myself, with the help of friends who know C++ much better than I do, when we recompile we get the following error…a missing binary file called “ProcComs.bin”.

Do anyone know where this file is…. or where to get it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated…

David

thks.

Talhia,

Very interesting program. Good job.

1) I have also tried the reg query command as Subhash Yadav (see above).
It seems that there is a limit with commands.
Ex :
REMCOM \\W0200968 /user:XXXX /pwd:YYY reg query HKLM\Software\Microsoft works fine, but :
REMCOM \\W0200968 /user:XXXX /pwd:YYY reg query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT doen not work fine.

Initiating Connection to Remote Service . . . Ok
Erreur : paramÞtres de ligne de commande non valides
Remote command returned 1(0×1)

2) About the /c command.
REMCOM \\10.153.108.226 /user:XXX /pwd:PPP /c a.txt works fine.
The file a.txt is really downloaded, but we have no access for next commands.
Initiating Connection to Remote Service . . . Ok
We need to CtrlC for stoping

3) About the /d command.
It seems not to work with the /c command.
How can we copy a file in a desired location, and not at C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32?

Thanks for the answer

Hello, I think that RemCom is a fantastic tool.

I have a doubt. I try to automatizate a backup with this tool, and I try to copy file to server with this command:

remcom \\machine “copy eula.txt \\server\files\novale.txt”

The result is
Acceso denegado.
0 archivos copiados.

Remote command returned 1(0×1)

If I execute copy eula.txt \\server\files\novale.txt in the machine the result is OK.

Do you know how can I use copy to send data to another machine?

Best Regards, Julio.

Hey Buddy!

your tool is great, I just request to you one feature. A command line argument to specify TIMEOUT, like the psexec -n 30 if not, if the program fails to connect in a timeout hangs in a neverending loop.

Thanks!

This tool looks like the way forward for me, it actually works under .NET and I can capture the stdin/out streams unlike psexec, however (inevitably) i have a problem when I try to hit any network resource:

xcopy /E /S /H /I \\server\share\dir C:\temp

Throws up this:
Invalid drive specification
0 File(s) copied

Also,

net use * \\server\share

yields:
The password is invalid for \\server\share.

Access is denied.

I’m using my own domain admin account to run remcom using /user /pwd arguments. As the help text explains that network resources will be unavailable if I don’t. Looks like network resources are unavailable anyway… This didn’t happen with psexec, any idea what’s going on?

Congratulations!
Very useful tool

Hi Talha Tariq

Please can you explain how to pass command line argument, to install any exe. However

In Psexec Tool
————–
psexec.exe \\hostname –u XXX–p XXX-c -f -i -e E:\win32.exe

In above exe is copied to system32 folder and “installed”

How about in RemCom Tool:
————————

RemCom.exe \\10.100.100.100 /user:XX /pwd:XX /c E:\win32.exe

In RemCom exe is copied to system32 folder only how to trigger the above exe in order to install in remote machine. I want to pass any extra arguments with above command . Please advise me on the same

Talha

Thanks for your reply. I wan to manually execute through runas command then trigger the exe right.

Salam Tariq. That’s Great work, I found it very useful in my project. And its /c option have solved my big problem. Without wasting my time I get your working code and implement it in my project via dll. Thanx Again for your contribution. I will release my working copy of my project soon on sourceforge.net

In addition to the newer feature of PSexec… duplicating those of BeyondExec (free alternative as well) would be nice.

My PC is XP
When execute the command remcom.exe we get the following message:

Couldn’t connect to \\fasa-citi\ADMIN$
Access is denied.

We used “net use \\fasa-citi\Admin$ /user:xxxxx”
and get the following message:
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.

Could you help me with this issue.

I am testing the two executable files thats Remcom.exe and Rctrlx.exe, so i wanted to know what is the difference? Coz when i am doing the testing both these behave in the same way. Can you give more details on this Talha.

Brother, here is the link

Still waiting for your reply………

1. Can we execute commands that take into a subshell e.g. telnet or invoking cmd.exe etc and then invoking commands within the sub-shell? And how do we do that using this RemCom?
2. Does this remcom support the Hop scenario of command execution e.g. you telnet to system A from where you telnet to a system B and continue this chaining to finally execute a commad like, say “dir”? And how do we do that using this RemCom?

I was using psexec to run a batch file on a remote machine, and the batch file executes a setup file from the network to install the application to the remote machine.

I tried RemCom and it seem to work when supplied with the correct credentials. My batch file will run (check IF conditions, copy files, write to output files, etc) up until the point where it needs to run the setup.exe file from the network. Then it returns the “Access is denied” error…

I am very curious as to why this would happen… Any idea how psexec can get around the access restriction but RemCom cant?

Thanks! Been banging my head for weeks on the output issues with psexec…This solved my prob.

Hi.
My remote host haven’t password and return error:

C:\RemCom_bin_1.2>remcom \\hostname /user:uname /c “xxx.exe”

Initiating Connection to Remote Service . . . Invalid password

Enter Password:

Connecting to remote service … Failed

Couldn’t connect to \\hostname\ADMIN$
Access deny

Great product. I noticed that with command with spaces ex: reg query xxxxx It has problems. I receive “Error: Invalid command-line parameters” The way I got around it was to have the command within a cmd file and send it to the remote station remcom /c \\hostname c:\temp\batchfile.cmd and that seems to work. In regards to usernames with spaces. I would do a runas /user:domain/adminsitrator password with the alternate credentials on the admin terminal. and then run the remcom app. That way you don’t have the issues. But its a great product and fast. I have had issues with psexec hanging on some workstations even with the -n xx switch. Your app doesn’t hang on a non responsive workstation. Too bad there is no switch to run as service account. But its great.

Hi there,

We have started to use this very useful tool recently. However it has begun to trigger a Sophos alert ( http://www.sophos.com/security/analyses/suspicious-behavior-and-files/hipsregmod013.html ). I am curious about this as we also use the PsTools suite ( psexec actually ) and this has not triggered Sophos, the mechanics of the two tools are after all very similar.

I know we could simply allow RemCom in Sophos, but I am interested to understand how the two tools might differ in such a way that only one triggers the alert.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Andy

Thank you for RemCom – it is a great tool.

I wish I were a talented programmer like yourself.

Would it be hard to see sending the username and password in a secure manner?

I need to run scripts, etc. on remote machines but always need to fear that a remote admin has setup a sniffer that I do not know about it.

Thanks again.
Mark

Advice me on how to copy a file into temp folder of remote machine using RemCom.

Thank you so much for this tool!!! I too had the problem that I could not read the output of psexec from within my own program (Java).

With this tool we can have our server-client integration test automatically start multiple remote clients on other machines and wait until they output a message that they are ready and connected and the test can start!!!

Tool seems neat.
Is it encrypting credentials when connecting to a remote server or is it sending them in clear text?
