Spawning Interactive Shell with AutoIT [over psexec?]

[parrishjason]

I am trying to spawn a cmd.exe shell on a remote machine using psexec then proceed to running commands on that machine and reading the output. I.e. running pwd. 

Unfortunately, the code I have now will just immediately exit cmd on the remote system 

I'm trying to use the current code

#include <Constants.au3>
$pid = Run('C:\Users\test\Desktop\psexec.exe \\192.168.1.123 -u test -p "P@$$word1" -h -s cmd',@SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDIN_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
StdinWrite($pid,"pwd")
StdinWrite($pid,@CRLF)
Local $data
Sleep(2000)
$data &= StdoutRead($pid)
ConsoleWrite("Debug:" & $data & @LF)
StdinWrite($pid,"cd ")
StdinWrite($pid,"C:\users\test2")
StdinWrite($pid,@CRLF)
StdinWrite($pid)
$data &= StdoutRead($pid)
ConsoleWrite("Debug:" & $data & @LF)

Unfortunately, on my end, my cmd just starts/stops with this prompt
 

Connecting with PsExec service on 192.1.123...Starting cmd on 192.168.1.123...
cmd exited on 192.168.1.123 with error code 0.

Any ideas how I can keep my shell open over psexec and still interact with it using AutoIT?

Any feed back would be amazing! Thanks!

You probably can't, you'd need to run the commands on the target machine directly and not remotely.

Can't you use a batch file to trigger all the commands using psexec instead of keeping it open on remote machine and sending one by one.

If you want to track the execution, you can create a log file there and copy to your machine at the end.

No.  The issue that is being described is one that has been experienced by many others:

However, PAexec, a command line application that is essentially a clone of psexec, might give you more luck.
