run batch file on multiple target hosts with Hyena?

[Guest]

Hi all,

Just did a quick search and didn't find anything that dealt with this directly, so here goes:

Using Hyena v6.6 Enterprise is there any way to execute/run a batch file (batch file stops service, imports reg key and restarts service) on multiple hosts?

I had previously used psexec to do this, but wanted to know if Hyena had native support for this (or perhaps a scripting guru had come up with a "tool" addon?)

Thanks for the assist and a great product! Hyena has come a loooooong way since when I last used it

Cheers!

Actually I think psexec is going to be your best bet, and you can create a Custom Tool in Hyena to run it. Search the board for psexec and you should find some helpful tips.

To the best of my knowledge this isn't built in to Hyena nativley. Though you can make a psexec tool but unfortunatly you can only run it on 20 machines at one time. Hopefully in the future they will let us modify how many machines Hyena can run a tool against.

I use a sharepoint for ALL my tools, edit accordingly

You will need to get SC.exe from the resource kit. At least that's where I think it is
