    Hi guys,

    Hoping a Windows admin can help me out.
    How can I run cmd prompt on remote machines on my network?

    Thanks

    So you want to open a command prompt window locally, but the commands run on the remote machine? Download psexec to your local computer and run: 
    psexec \\192.168.1.100 cmd
    Or if you need to run it as a different user: 
    runas /netonly /user:domain\user "psexec \\192.168.1.100 cmd"
    There are a couple of caveats, like the fact that tab-completion doesn't work.

    Depends on what you want to do really. I find remote prompts pretty awkward and slow. For example, if you want to start a windows service, you're better off starting a local prompt and running 
    sc \\192.168.1.100 start NameOfService

    Another option which is more versatile but may also be more work to set up is PowerShell's PSSession.

    Enter-PSSession {fqdn or ip address} will attempt to open the connection; you'll need winrm enabled and possibly firewall rules. But with those configured, you can then do anything for which a cmdlet exists from your local machine. Once you're finished, Exit-PSSession will terminate the session for you.
