Drive Snapshot and PsExec
The PsExec tool is only required by operating systems that are not supported by octoplant (Windows NT for example) in addition to a licensed version of Drive Snapshot. PsExec allows you to start processes on any computer within the network, provided you have the necessary permissions. This tool is available online free of charge.
Info
Passwords and access data are encrypted by octoplant by default.
Notes on the use of PsExec
- AMDT recommends the use of PSExec 2.1 or higher.
- PSExec 2.1 supports computers with Windows XP Service Pack 2 or higher and transmits access data in encrypted form. It is recommended to use the -h and -accepteula options.
- For computers with Windows XP, Windows XP Service Pack 1 or Windows NT, PsExec 1.94 or a previous version must be used. However, these do not support encryption or the -h and -accepteula options.
- octoplant allows the use of different PsExec versions. For each job, you can specify which PsExec version is to be used and which PsExec options are to be used.
Info
If problems occur when using Drive Snapshot and PsExec in conjunction with octoplant, please check the functionality of these external tools outside the octoplant environment.
