    We are running a small business and we use 10 same computers to run the same program installed in the local computers (application runs about 30 minutes). After the session is expired we close the program and with the new session we will start over. I want to make this process automatically: from the server computer press button to start, and after that 10 computers application will start automatically. The application is normal .exe file which is installed in the computers d disk. Is it possible to do that?

    Sorry i am not programmer and if somebody could help me – i could tip/donate for that.

    BatchPatch is probably not the right tool for you.

    You could possibly use *just* PsExec, which is free. However, there are some caveats, and it may or may not work smoothly. If the application is intended to be open and visible to a user on the target computer, then it would have to be executed/launched by that user account remotely. If each target computer is running under a different user account, then each target remote execution would have to be performed under the user account that is specific to each target computer. Additionally, in PsExec you would have to use the ‘Interactive’ option in order for the application to be visible in the target computer desktop session, otherwise it will be hidden and running in the background. But even with the ‘Interactive’ option in PsExec, it’s not guaranteed to work in the way that you want/need. You’ll have to experiment and see.
