anyone know the command to run a ping from a remote computer and send the output my local c drive...

This is the command i have for running it on my local machine:

ping 10.10.10.10 >>c:\pinglog.txt


** i need the command to run it on a remote machine from my local host and send the report back to my local pc.

For those of you who know the power of the command line, you also know that it is really useful to be able to run some of these command line tools remotely. There are a number of different ways to do this. I would like to share with you a couple of my favorites.

PsExec

If you are not familiar with PsExec, then this is going to be a bit of a revelation for you. PsExec is a freeware program that allows you to execute a command on a remote machine. If that command is a command line program, it will send the output of that command back to you.

The real trick comes when you run the command console. Try this command:

psexec \\RemoteComputer cmd.exe

where \\RemoteComputer is the name or IP address of the remote computer (Make sure you use the \\ otherwise the command will fail.)

What this does is connect to the remote computer and then open a command prompt on the remote machine. You can then work with this new command prompt and it will execute all of your actions on the remote system!

In order for this to work for you, you need to have the admin$ share active on the remote computer (which it is by default) and you need to have account information with administrative access to the system. This is mainly used in situations where you have a Windows network and you are the administrator of the network.

Or if u wanted to, you could enable the Telnet Server in Windows, connect to the machine remotely and run the command with the option to output to a shared network path.

ping 10.10.10.10 >> \\"yourcompname"\"shareucreated"\pinglog.txt

e.g. ping 10.10.10.10 >> \\AdminPC\c$\pinglog.txt

If u use ">>" the result will be appended to each time, if u want new results use ">".

no, he wants to run the ping command local from another machine not from his, so all you are doing is creating the log on a remote share, not really the idea.

[outkast]

this is the command he will have to use (along with any remote exec util) to get the log file created back on his local pc.
