Revision 4. </p> <p>This code attempts to implement psexec in python code, using wmi. As part of a project of mine I had to run remote commands on remote Windows machines from other Windows machine. At first I used psexec for that with subprocess.Popen. The reason in this code for creating .bat files and running them remotely is because complicated commands do not run properly with Win32_Process.Create</p> <p>In this code I used this code: <a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/442521/history/3/" rel="nofollow">http://code.activestate.com/recipes/442521/history/3/</a></p> <p>required installations:</p> <p>pywin32 - <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build216/" rel="nofollow">http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build216/</a></p> <p>wmi - <a href="http://timgolden.me.uk/python/downloads/" rel="nofollow">http://timgolden.me.uk/python/downloads/</a></p>
