PAExec

PAExec lets you launch Windows programs on remote Windows computers without needing to install software on the remote computer first. For example, you could launch CMD.EXE remotely and have the equivalent of a terminal session to the remote server. PAExec is useful for doing remote installs, checking remote configuration, etc.

PAExec - The Redistributable PsExec

Microsoft`s PsExec tool (originally by SysInternal`s Mark Russinovich) is a favorite of system administrators everywhere. It just has two tiny flaws:

- PsExec can not be redistributed
- Sensitive command-line options like username and passwords are sent as clear text

We needed something that would overcome those two issues, and not finding a suitable replacement, decided to write our own.
