You can do this with WMI (the Management classes in the framework, like
ManagementClass) and the WMI Win32_Process class. You can attach to WMI on
the remote system and use the Create method of Win32_Process. This is the
kind of thing below. ConnectionOptions has username and password properties
if you need to run in a different account.
ConnectionOptions coptions = new ConnectionOptions();
string workingdir = "C:\\Temp";
string mcommand = "notepad";
string servername = "remoteserver";
ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope("\\\\" + servername +
"\\root\\cimv2", coptions);
try
{
scope.Connect();
ManagementPath mp = new ManagementPath("Win32_Process");
ManagementClass mo = new ManagementClass (scope, mp, new
ObjectGetOptions(null, new TimeSpan(0,0,0,5), true) );
ManagementBaseObject inParams = mo.GetMethodParameters ("Create");
InvokeMethodOptions options = new InvokeMethodOptions();
inParams["CommandLine"] = mcommand;
inParams ["CurrentDirectory"] = workingdir;
ManagementBaseObject mbo = mo.InvokeMethod( "Create", inParams,
options);
object rv = mbo ["returnvalue"];
object prid = mbo ["processid"];
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Failed to connect: " + e.Message);
}
