Hi,

I'm trying to write a script that will remotely install a file system filter
driver remotely across a number of systems using psexec.exe (from
sysinernals). This works fine if the user is logged on to the remote system,
but does not seem to work if no user is logged in. If I try to run other
applications using psexec when the user is not logged in, they wrk fine.

Are there any reasons why rundll32.exe cannot be used in this way?

Thanks

Richard

Yes, there are reasons.
Try to install it as a normal service, using sc.exe.
