Is it possible to run a batch script remotely on a Windows machine from Linux without installing ssh?

Question

I am looking for a way in Linux to run a batch script on a remote Windows machine. I already searched some forums and the Internet and found eg this question .

It seems that the easiest way so far is using ssh . But do Linux or Windows also offer some built-in tools to solve this problem (something like at-command for Linux-to-Windows)?

Answer 1

Have a look at this . It seems to be the linux counter part to the Windows Sysinternals PsExec tool. .

Answer 2

Another option is to use ad-hoc services for remote execution, eg Nagios NRPE for windows. It is not exactly what the developers had in mind, but it can be (ab)used in this way.
