Hi,

I have a requirement wherein i need to restart automate.exe in run time resource machine without logging to that runtime resource machine. Is it possible to do so?

Thanks,
Sajit

Hi Sajit,

This can be achievable. To do this you could learn and use of PowerShell commands from the Mircosoft Docs.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/getting-started/getting-started-with-windows-powershell?view=powershell-6

• Remote into the runtime resource hosting machine via the PowerShell
  • Enter-PSSession -ComputerName RuntimeResource01 -Credential USER
• Stop the runtime resource
  • Get-Process Automate | Stop-Process
• Start the batch file that contains the execution command to initiate the runtime resource
  • Start-Process -FilePath 'C:\Users\username\Folder\runtime_resource.bat'

Unfortunately: 
"To create remote sessions and run remote commands, by default, the current user must be a member of the Administrators group on the remote computer or provide the credentials of an administrator. Otherwise, the command fails."

We do not have administrator rights on runtime resources.

Hi Walter,

Yes. To remotely shutdown or restart a workstation on your network, you need to have administrative rights on the target workstation, and it's not possible to do as a standard user.
