Psexec Help

We had a requirement to create 10GB files on 200 machines immediately  for testing.

psexec was used to do this remotely.

The command:

psexec.exe -u username -p passpord @list.txt \\FileSrv01\Sharename\CreateFile.cmd


Here are the steps:

Created a batch file and saved it on a file share which all users have access to .

FileServer Share  ----   \\FileSrv01\Sharename\

Batch File ---  CreateFile.cmd

The batch file had this content:

fsutil file createnew C:\test.bak 10000000000 

The Above command creates around 9GB file immediately


1.Logged in to one of the machines with admin privilege

2.Copied psexec.exe  to folder C:\temp

3.Created a file list.txt which had all the machines where i wanted to run the batch file.Kept it in the same folder.

4.Executed the command from command prompt within C:\temp directory

psexec.exe -u username -p passpord @list.txt \\FileSrv01\Sharename\CreateFile.cmd

Hope this Helps.

Citrix XenApp 6.5 Discovery fails Event 3989

Citrix XenApp 6.5 Service account password change caused console discovery to fail and we saw event ID 3989 in System Event logs "Citrix XenApp failed to connect to the Data Store. ODBC error while connecting to the database: 28000 -> [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication." After changing the service account password needed to run the following command on the delivery controllers. DSMAINT CONFIG /user:abc\ABCSVCCitrix /pwd:nP@ssword /dsn:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\Independent Management Architecture\mf20.dsn" Restart IMA service You should now be able to run the discovery successfully Hope this helps

One of our servers was losing the Local Admin settings as we control them using GPO (restricted Groups) We were receiving the following event on this particular server : Event ID 4098 Application Event Log The computer 'Administrators (built-in)' preference item in the 'Servers Local Admins {odjd9DBD-22AF-48EA-ADF5-F42ADE4182hst}' Group Policy Object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070534 No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.'
