SOLVED How to create a deployment to run a file from local drive of client computer

[Sukhjit]

Say there is a file 123.exe sitting on all client computers under C:\Run
Is there any way to create a package to run this from local drive on all client computers.
Secondly is there any way to make a batch file to run this with specific account and password.

Thanks for your time in advance

Hi Sukhjit,

Yes, create a package without a content and add the command line to execute your EXE file, either using %systemdrive%\Run\123.exe or C:\Run\123.exe

Secondly is there any way to make a batch file to run this with specific account and password.

Yes but you have to try it, below an example:

runas /user:contoso\domainadmin "mmc %windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc"​

More details about the different option:

• Runas

Thanks Youssef. I was able to make it work. We have one primary site and rest are distribution points. Do I have to push this to other sites? Since the package is without contents there is nothing to push and hence the option to distribute is grayed out.

If there is no content, you don't have to make any distribution action.
The client will get the package and execute directly the command line as configured.

Great! Thanks
