We can use WMIC(Windows
Management Instrumentation Command-line tool) to access WMI data on local or
remote computers via command prompt to execute any command.
WMIC utility provides a command line interface for WMI(Windows
Management Instrumentation) and use of this we can manage remote system.
Ok, Let’s take an example, Suppose we want to update Group
Policy on a single remote user’s computer using group policy update command,
then following command will help to initiate gpupdate.exe, kindly change Target_Computer_Name
with a remote computer name.
WMIC /node:Target_Computer_Name process call create
"cmd.exe /c GPUpdate.exe
Suppose you want to run group policy update command on
multiple users, then use this following command
FOR /F "Tokens=*" %L IN (RemoteComputers.TXT) DO
WMIC /node:%L process call create "cmd.exe /c GPUpdate.exe"
Suppose if you want to stop any othere service on a remote
computer then use following command, Kindly replace the Target_ Service with
the service name which you want to stop.
WMIC /node:Target_Computer_Name process call create
"Net Stop Target_Service"
We can use help command /? to discover the additional
options as well.
