Running Type command remotely

[Guest]

Can someone help.

We are trying to write a custom tool that will run the typ command on the host file of a remote pc.

On a local machine the command:

type %windir%\systems32\driver\etc\hosts

Should display the host file in a command prompt.

We want a tool that will display the host file of a server on the admin pc in a command prompt

we have tryed using psexec to do this with the syntax: cmd /x /c m:\hyena\hostfile.bat %E% &pause

hostfile.bat cconatins:

M:
cd \PSEXEC
psexec.exe \\%1 "type %windir%\systems32\driver\etc\hosts"
pause

this and several other variations have been tryed and it always falls over.

Any Ideas?

Re: Running Type command remotely

Here is my command from Hyena Tools Settings.
Command name:<span style="font-weight: bold">Remote Command Prompt</span>
Command:<span style="font-weight: bold">cmd /c cls & \\servername\scripts\Hyenatools\PsTools\psexec \\%E% cmd & pause</span>

I use the pstools from a central shared folder because I share the tools with other admins. You could do it localy if you wish.
