How do i invoke a batch script remotely in a windows 2000 terminal using commands from windows 7

Question

I have a Batch file in legacy Windows 2000 server from a windows 7 environment.

Using schtasks to create a task and run the same through it gives me result ERROR : THE REQUEST IS NOT SUPPORTED. Is there a different approach to invoke the script remotely.

PS: I cannot install any 3rd party software to work around it.

Answer 1

You could just use wmic

wmic /node:SERVERNAME1 "cmd /c somebatch.cmd"

For more information simply open cmd.exe and type wmic /?

EDIT: I actually just realised you are using Windows 2000 and you would probably need to enable wmi on the server, see this link
