Automic Workload Automation

  • 1.  Is it possible to run the batch file on network drive?

    We need to run a batch file where Automic agent is not installed. We did try mapping the drive but it is not working.
    We even tried with the UNC path but no luck.

    The only way to trigger the batch file is to install the automic agent on that machine?
    Thanks,

    Please have a look at following KBE:

    PowerShell has the ability to run bat files on remote machines.  I've used this trick a few times, but it is not as good as installing an agent.

    Thank you Pete and Wolfgang for your responses. I found a windows utility 'PsExec' to run the batch file on remote machine and it's working perfectly fine in my case.

    Thanks,
