The only problem is router ACLs and firewalls and Security BUs that detect this activity and shut you down. PSEXEC requires RPC to install a remote service and some random port to talk back on. GPMC RSOP data requires that the remote RSOP service is running and can talk back to your MMC. I've had clients where this has been picked up and questions asked :-(

RSOP can be run remotely. Fire up a new MMC session, add the RSOP snap-in, then choose the "Generate RSOP data" from the "Actions" menu, and the wizard will walk you through the process, including the option to run it on a remote computer. A good rule in the world of IT admin is: You shouldn't have to leave your desk for anything other than a hardware fault or personal interaction. :-) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
