I have two machines and a router. Both machines are running xp pro sp2.
Ultimately I"m trying to be able to execute a batch file residing on computer A, from the command line of computer B. I installed Remote Command Service and it's running on Machine A. I run the remote command client from machine B, and it can connect to machine A. If i try to execute a batch file, and that batch file tries to change directory to c:\program files\ on machine A, I get a permission denied error. I'm guessing because I'm limited to the permissions of a guest account on machine A, or the account of machine B, which pretty much has no permissions on machine A.
So how do I make it the account on machine B has permissions on machine A? Both machines are in the same workgroup, and I can set up network shares between the two just fine. I can't do \\machine_name\c$\ though from A to B or B to A.
