Executing VBScript file remotely - file not found

Question

I tried using

psexec \\emeagdmv28apx50 -s -i Test1.vbs

psexec \\emeagdmv28apx50 @file "C:\Start.ps1"

But the script is not able to find the file on remote machine. I have this particular file present at the localhost as well as the remote machine on the same path.

Error I get

PsExec could not start Test1.vbs on emeagdmv28apx50:
The system cannot find the file specified.

Answer 1

But the script is not able to find the file on remote machine

Execute the .vbs file on the remote machine using cscript:

psexec.exe \\computer -u user -p pass c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe script.vbs
