Assuming these are NT servers you can use a reskit tool that is similar to Netware rconsole. What are you trying to do though?

Colin,
Welcome to the board!
Can you show the bit of code that is giving you troubles? There maybe switches, etc. that are needed?
For example, here is how we are checking for WMI being installed on a system:
code:
;INSTALL WINDOWS MANAGEMENT INSTRUMENTATION
:wmi
;CHECK TO SEE IF THE FOLDER EXISTS
$wbempath="%WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\WBEM\."
;CHECK TO SEE IF THE FOLDER EXISTS
IF 1 <> Exist("$WBEMPATH")
RUN @ldrive+"Programs\wmint4.exe /s"
RETURN
ELSE
RETURN
ENDIF
HTH,

It sounds like a permissions problem. Get it to work this way:
1. Share the proper location. -- \\server\share\filetorun.exe
2. Set permissions on the share folder (doublecheck to see if you can execute file outside logon script from remote PC under proper userid as well) to allow executable access for whoever is running the logon script (domain\everyone?)
3. execute from the logon script with:
SHELL "\\server\share\filetorun.exe" or
SHELL "%comspec% /c \\server\share\filetorun.exe > nul"

I clarify, run the .exe in tokyo from the remote server in singapore
tried RUN '\\server\share\.exe' but it falls over.
probably due to the WAN delay.
did get the script ot run a local .bat, finally, which executes the remote .exe. I'd rather just run the .exe

Hmm... well if a delay is causing the problem, then you might want to look into copying the file locally (perhaps to your %temp% folder -- assuming it exists), and executing it from there.

Brian, can't copy to the local machine as the .exe requires other files on the share to log info of the client.
My next question is does anyone have any code i can use to, long winded. check for a file in the root dir, if not there create and write the date, then do a run. if the file exists, read the date and if over 90 days do a run otherwise skip.
Thanks
Colin

Break your requested functionality down into individual steps and starting reading the manual.
1. if Exist()
2. Create what? See Open, Writeline, WriteProfileString, etc.
3. See RUN and SHELL. You may want to start your program from a batch so that you can change to the remote drive and and directory. It may help in the execution of the file.
4. ELSE to #1
5. endif
Somewhere in there you want a GetFileTime()

What is the EXE you are trying to run? Another option may be to schedule to EXE from your script on the server (at say 1 minute in the future).

Les,
Codes a bit ruff at the moment but if I run the function by itself it works, in the script it fauls
if exist ("%systemdrive%\emran.txt")
?"It's there..."
$file = "%systemdrive%\emran.txt"
IF Open(1, $file) = 0
$x = ReadLine(1)
;WHILE @ERROR = 0
? "Line read: [" + $x + "]"
;$x = ReadLine(1)
? "Currentdate: [" + @DATE + "]"
;LOOP
Close (1)
ELSE
BEEP
? "Config file not opened, error code: [" + @ERROR + "]"
ENDIF
?"prefunction"
$DaysBetween=DateMath(@DATE,-7)
? "DaysBetween=" +$DaysBetween
;if over 90 days run
;endif
else

Les,
the last else is for extra code that works and the UDF's are at the bottom
