PsExec

I came across a very useful tool today, for computer management on a domain. PsExec allows an administrator to execute programs on a remote machine.

I was using it to remotely uninstall software (psexec \\machine -i msiexec /x{GUID} /qb) and then install a different piece (which unfortunately wasn't msi based and had to have the user click finish at the end (psexec \\machine -i -d -c install.exe)

Could be useful in the future.. will have to remember this one...
