Interesting, yes on 1.1.1 winexe could start calc.exe or notepad.exe (which would work as is as the path included them on XP). On 2.0.3 no dice... no matter how I specified with full path or just the name, nothing happened, timed out.

Maybe a bug?

You should be able to invoke just about any program. I've seen notepad invoked remotely with winexe before. The one thing I know doesn't work is build in shell commands such as dir.

I wonder if maybe the backslashes in your notepad invocation need to be escaped or quoted differently.

So I figured out that it sometimes works. If I say ipconfig /all as the windows command, it runs. So does net start <service> so I've got what I really need right now.

Was the interactive program starting not working a bug, or a design decision? It's just easy to check everything is working if I can invoke notepad etc.

I tried setting the timout to 30.0 seconds, no difference. It doesn't seem to be working . . .

Well, I've had a similar problem : there is a zProperty named zCommandTimeout that is set by default at 15.0 seconds, so maybe 15 secs is not enough for you too.

If it is not that, well no other idea since I'm in front of a KDC problem now (it does not recognize the realm I set in zWinUser, whereas WMI is working correctly, I don't understand...), so winexe fails when attempting to log on the remote windows server.
