Psexec and calling batch files.

Question

I'm going to try and break this down as simple as I can.

There are three computers involved. Local machine (LM), compute node (CN), and data node (DN) will be their names from here on out.

I have a psexec command which calls a batch file on the compute node.

psexec \\"compute node" -w WorkingDirectory BatchFileName

This BatchFileName sets some local variables then an executable which is located in the WorkingDirectory. This executable loads, but it has a configuration file which points to a bunch of files located on the data node. This is where my operation breaks down. If I run the batch locally on the compute node everything works fine. I'm merely trying to call it from a local machine using psexec instead. The same account name and password are used for all computers in this case.

The error I get is that it can't open the file located on the data node.

Batch file:

@echo off
setlocal
set VALUATION_DATE=20090313
set LiTEShome=C:\LiTES
ServiceConsole.exe
endlocal
exit /b 0

ServiceConsole.exe.config contains:

<add key="SomeName" value="\\Data Node\\Directory\\FileName"/>

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Try

psexec \"compute node" -w WorkingDirectory BatchFileName -u UserName -p Password

with an account that has permissions on both nodes.
