Psexec - run command remotely and save output to local file

Question

I'm trying to run multiple commands remotely using psexec.

I launch psexec from a local computer then specify the remote computer to connect. I want to store the output of the remote command on my local pc that initiated the psexec command.

If use ">" or ">>" the file gets created on the remote pc, not on my local pc.

Here is the code that I use:

cmd /c "c:\windows\system32\psexec.exe" \\192.168.0.2 -accepteula -u test -p test -s cmd /k (date /t) ^& (time /t) ^& (hostname) ^& (wmic csproduct get name, identifyingnumber) ^& (net statistics workstation) ^& (wmic LOGICALDISK LIST BRIEF) ^& (echo.) ^& (net use) ^& (tasklist)'+' ^& (echo.) ^& (echo. LISTARE CONTINUT FISIER HOSTS:) ^& (type c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts)

What am I doing wrong?

Certainly do not need to use CMD /C to start PSEXEC. Why don't you just put all those commands into a batch file, one line per command?, — Squashman, Feb 14 '16 at 22:25
And you can always redirect to the server `>>\\servername\sharename\folder\file.txt` - admins always have access to each harddrive via sharename `C$`. So `>>\\myComputer\C$\Folder\file.txt`. — , Feb 14 '16 at 22:27

That is how PSExec works, on the other computer. WMIC can do what you want all by itself.

wmic /node:127.0.0.1 process get /format:list

or

wmic /node:@C:\folder\computerlist.txt process get /format:list

computerlist.txt looks like this

127.0.0.1
MyComputerName
168.0.0.1

so you can mix 'n match names or ip addresses.

or

wmic /node:127.0.0.1 /output:C:\folder\output.txt process get /format:list

Although wmic does do redirection. Use Append instead of output to append.

See wmic /?, wmic /output /?, and wmic /format /?.

Also wmic can run programs invisible on other computers.

wmic /node:127.0.0.1 process call create notepad.exe

Because 127.0.0.1 is a local address you'll see notepad but won't see it on a remote computer. See wmic process call create /?

Thanks for posting this useful examples. – user2858981 Feb 20 '16 at 18:56 — user2858981, Feb 20 '16 at 18:56

I have written an async job that executes multiple instances of psexec and saves outputs locally see Executing a batch file in a remote machine through PsExec for details
