How to use psexec to remotely update machines time (from domain)?

In my previous posts you can find info how to install psexec. When you’re already done with this process, you can start updating clock settings on remote machines.

Set time

psexec64 -s /user:domain\user -i \\remote_ip net time \\domain_controller /set /y

Will output:

Bieżąca godzina na \\domain_controller to 2018-08-28 09:55:00.

At least in polish Windows 😀

Check time

psexec64 -s /user:domain\user -i \\remote_ip cmd /c time /t

Will output:

11:18

And remember good IT specialist is lazy specialist! Do not go anywhere! Eat ya buritos.

Use psexec to troll your work colleagues

If you’re an admin in a windows environment you can troll your friends a little bit 🙂

Install psexec and use bellow command to run Rick Astley’s famous “sweet troll of mine” on a remote computer (background, no window!).

psexec64 -s /user:domain\user -i \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --app="https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ"

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx – stands for an ip number of a trolled person.

PS. Make sure you’re using psexec64 not psexec because it may not work on modern systems (tested on Windows 10).
