Download Microsoft Edge More info. Table of contents Exit focus mode. Table of contents. PsExec v2. In this article. Separate processors on which the application can run with commas where 1 is the lowest numbered CPU.

Copy the specified executable to the remote system for execution. If you omit this option the application must be in the system path on the remote system. Run the program so that it interacts with the desktop of the specified session on the remote system.

If no session is specified the process runs in the console session. This flag is required when attempting to run console applications interactively with redirected standard IO. If the target system is Vista or higher, has the process run with the account's elevated token, if available. Open the folder where the extracted files are located, and from the navigation bar at the top of the folder, erase what's there and enter cmd.

This will open Command Prompt in that folder so that you can run commands through PsExec. With Command Prompt now open to the folder that contains PsExec. Much like any command-line tool, PsExec works only when its syntax is followed exactly.

Once you understand how to type commands in the way the tool understands them, you can control the program from any Command Prompt.

This is how PsExec commands must be entered:. This may look complex and confusing but don't worry! There are some examples at the bottom of this page that you can use to practice. The above syntax is used to execute any of the following PsExec command arguments:. Here are a few examples of how to use PsExec to do things like run remote Command Prompt commands, manage Windows Services , and launch or install programs.

Doing this will launch a regular Command Prompt window within the existing one, and let you enter every command as if you were sitting in front of the remote computer. Another way to use PsExec is to enter individual commands but without starting a full Command Prompt.

In this example, we're executing the tracert command against lifewire. Here, we're using PsExec to launch Registry Editor on the remote machine, mikelaptopw10 , in the System account.

Because -i is used, the program will open in interactive mode, meaning that it will actually launch on the remote machine's screen. If -i were omitted from the above command, it would execute in hidden mode to avoid showing any dialog boxes or other windows. Adding an argument like that requires cmd. It's very important to understand how powerful PsExec is and how it could be used to compromise your computer when used in an otherwise unsecure environment. For example, combining -c , -u , and -p , specifically will let anyone with a network connection to your computer, and knowledge of the admin credentials, execute secret malware with anyone's credentials.

Even that last, perfectly acceptable example in the previous section takes on a whole new purpose when you consider that instead of CCleaner, someone could install anything else they desired, in the background, and no windows pop up to show that anything is happening. All that said, considering the firewall changes required and administrator credentials knowledge someone would have to have, there's little reason to worry so long as the admin password on the remote computer is complex and other basic security measures have been taken.

Some antivirus programs falsely identify PsExec as a dangerous file, but those warnings can be ignored if you know for sure that the program you're using is from the Microsoft source above.

The reason this happens is because malware has been known to use PsExec to transfer viruses.
