In short you want to do something like this:
(simplified for testing purposes to use the local machine)

code
import win32com.client

wmi = win32com.client.GetObject (winmgmts:)
win32_process = wmi.Get (Win32_Process)
in_parameters = win32_process.Methods_ (Create).InParameters
in_parameters.Properties_ ('CommandLine').Value = notepad.exe
result = win32_process.ExecMethod_ (Create, in_parameters)

/code

Good point, I would like just to add this:
wmi = win32com.client.GetObject (winmgmts:username:passw...@host\
\root\\cimv2)
and it is perfect :)

I wasn't aware of that form of moniker construction
(ie with the username / password embedded) and on
an XP-to-2k3 link it doesn't seem to work. Is it a
Vista / 2k8 extension? Obviously, above, I was relying
on the fact that the default default namespace (as opposed
to the DEFAULT namespace ;) ) is root\cimv2.

Looks to me like 


objCreateProc.Create has an integer value.

You could add a print for that value before the call to objCreateProc.Create(). 
 (Leave off the parentheses on the print statement)

My guess is that you've got an address there, but I have no idea how to convert 
that to a valid Python function pointer.  Is there reasonable docs for WMI 
somewhere?

WMI remote call in python script to create process on remote windows computer

2009-10-06 Thread davidj411

what is causing this int error?

i have tried this with and without Unicode.
i'd like to do this without having a need to use Tim Golden's wmi

Not clear which int error you mean, but trying to help anyway...

You need to use raw strings (or use double-backslashes). That
may or may not be the cause of your problems, but it certainly
won't help. You may also run into theoretical restrictions of
what remote WMI processes can achieve (no desktop/windowstation etc.).

To ask the obvious question: why? I'm not offended, just curious :)

As Tim says, you need to double your backslashes.  You have several 
places where they are not properly escaped.  Alternatively, at least in 
all these cases, you could use the raw strings.


But the real problem with your message would seem to be that you retyped 
the material, with typos.  And didn't include the entire error message.  
Copy/paste are your friend.  And in case you don't know how to do that 
from a Windows console window, just ask.  Or try Right-click on the 
title bar for some ideas.


I don't have specific answers for you -- I don't currently do remote 
stuff this way.  But you'll get better answers if you try the above.
