Published Apr 5 2002 Hitchhikers Guide to an Asteroid Learning what nearEarth asteroids are made of and how theyre put together is simply prudent NASAs NEAR spacecraft did just that when it landed on one in 2001 Listen to this story via streaming audio a downloadable file or get help April 5 2002 When NASAs Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft visited the asteroid 433 Eros last year no one was on board It was strictly excitement from a distance exploring the potatoshaped 20by8by8mile worldlet through robotic eyes But what if you could have hitched a ride on the automobilesized spacecraft from its launch in February 1996 through its firstever landing on an asteroid What would you have seenand discovered Above a sidelong view of asteroid 433 Eros Credit NEARShoemaker more In early 2000 after nearly four years en route you would have been excited to be approaching Eros at lastslowly enough to be captured into orbit despite the relatively small bodys weak gravity Then you would have had a year to examine the curious object from all angles both in darkness and in sunlight and from distances ranging from 200 miles down to as close as 22 miles Lastly in a thrilling fourhour finale on February 12 2001 you would have clung to NEAR as it ohsogently settled down onto the very surface of Eros at merely walking speed to Below These images were captured by NEAR Shoemaker as it descended to the surface of Eros on February 12 2001 more Why 433 Eros As some asteroids in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter are hundreds of miles across wouldnt they have made more interesting targets Bigger yes certainly More interesting Perhaps not 433 Eros intrigued NEAR scientists for several reasons First for figuring out what asteroids are made of smaller is better than bigger Astronomers have long speculated that asteroids are remnants left over from the original creation of the solar system more than 45 billion years ago But just what was that primoridal material On Earth because of eons of volcanism and weathering its impossible to find an unchanged rock that old Asteroids the size of Eros however never got big enough to melt and reform so they are nearly pristine samples of the most primitive stuff in the solar system And what ancient secrets might you have seen on Eros as you swooped down close to its surface on NEAR Well Eros may be ancient and geologically unchanged but it also looks startlingly weathered Instead of sharp edges where it could have broken off a larger body or been struck by another asteroid peaks and crater rims are rounded and wornperhaps by a process called gardening in which small impacts from interplanetary dust and gravel over millions of years wear away sharp projections Its surface is littered with thousands of loose boulders the size of housesmost of them apparently having fallen back to the surface after having been scoured out of the largest impact crater on Eros some 5 miles Above Examples of flatfloored sediment ponds Most often such features are found on crater floors offset from the crater center toward the downslope side more Moreover Eros is peppered with smaller craters partially filled with flat ponds of fine bluish dustdust that appears to settle in the craters as smoothly as if it were a fluid Both loose boulders and dust ponds are astonishing to find on a body whose gravity is so weak that a 200lb basketball player would weigh only 2 ounces and would risk launching himself into orbit with one good jump shot Another reason NASA targeted Eros is that small as it is it is actually the second largest of a family of asteroids that can approach within 121 million miles of the sunthat is possibly within a few million miles of Earth Aside from the Moon such nearEarth asteroids NEAs are our closest neighbors in the solar systemso its just plain neighborly to go calling and learn a bit more about them Sign up for EXPRESS SCIENCE NEWS delivery Finding out all we can about nearEarth asteroids is prudent Although Eros does not come close enough to Earth for a collision other asteroids in different orbits might Indeed many space rocks have struck Earth in the distant past Even now 40 to 100 tons of smaller interplanetary debris and dust fall into Earths atmosphere daily If a rock larger than twothirds of a mile 1 kilometer in diameter should slam into Earth tidal waves firestorms and other traumas could spell disaster for civilization and possibly even for all of life on our planet Right now one NASA program is Thats another reason for interest in visiting Erosto find out how it and other NEAs are constructed Are they solid rock Or are theylike many mountains on Earthmore like compacted piles of rubble To anyone considering either redirecting an Earthapproaching asteroid into a different safer for Earth orbit or blowing it to smithereens with a thermonuclear warhead its essential to know where best to give the asteroid an effective push or whether its fragments will disperse as much as you hope Right Square craters on 433 Eros more The existence on 433 Eros of cratersand of squareshaped craters at thatseem to suggest the asteroid is one solid body of fractured rock of one uniform composition similar to the most ancient known meteorites called chondrites of material probably older than Earth At least thats the prevailing view of most scientists since having seen it closeup through NEARs cameras and having probed it with NEARs gammaray spectrometer after the craft landed Perhaps such solid rock might it make a good bedrock foundation for a mining operation Maybe as the first squatter on Eros NEAR should file a prospectors claim Could there be ice frozen in the fractures Could asteroids be refueling stations and sources of raw materials for colonies in the inner solar system NEAR taught us a great deal yet many mysteries remain Oh just one last hitchhikers question Which way to get back to Earth Web Links and more

archaic languages as well as his interest in sorcery later opens the door for Willow to expand upon her natural aptitude for witchcraft Although Giles has moderate experience with handtohand combat he spends most of his time being either captured manipulated or easily incapacitated by the demons of the Hellmouth Despite his less than helpful efforts to fight off foes he was an essential part of the gangs success providing needtoknow information to defeat several big bads throughout Buffy s seven season run 24 Tara Maclay Buffy the Vampire Slayer Praised for her onscreen depiction of lesbianism

Despite having studied magic for most of her life Tara never becomes obsessed with the use of witchcraft an issue which later becomes a heated topic between her and Willow Abstaining from the temptations of the dark arts she remains the voice of reason in the relationship until her untimely death eventually tips Willow past the boiling point consuming her with rage at the end of season six

questionable responsibilities which he performs on a daily basis He is responsible for wiping the memories of the active Dolls the select group of volunteers whose brains are imprinted with false personas that give them new identities and inherited skills Due to his selfabsorbed attitude and confidence Topher is often perceived as uncaring by his colleagues who fear that many of the Dolls are being treated as property rather than human beings Despite his own belief in his superior intelligence Topher later shows great remorse for his actions After discovering that his boss Adelle DeWitt is more ruthless than he imagined he expresses guilt in ever helping to build the brainwashing technology of the Dollhouse He then begins aiding the shows antagonists to take down the organization from the inside After he is forced to build a device which would wipe the worlds minds clean he goes insane In an attempt to restore the planet to its former state and remove the remaining imprints he sacrifices himself in an explosion showing just how far he had progressed in the shortlived series 20 Kaylee Frye Firefly As optimistic as she is handy with machines Kaywinnet Lee Frye better known as

is embarrassed by the rest of the crew when they taunt her for liking the newest member of the ship Simon Tam The two begin a relationship with each other but due to his reserved nature they skate around any intimacy until they both finally decide to plunge into something more meaningful As the true heart of Firefly Kaylee brings a certain innocence to a future overcome with tyranny despite

Spike Drusilla is a psychotic vampire who was first created in 1860 after Angels evil alterego Angelus became obsessed with her At the time Dru was an innocent Catholic girl living in London in a

family driving her insane before finally turning her into a vampire By the time Drusilla arrives in Sunnydale with Spike they have traveled across the countryside as a couple murdering helpless victims and laying waste to entire towns Responsible for siring Spike Dru becomes his biggest weakness eventually leaving him in a drunken despondent state While not the most ruthless villain on Buffy

unknown by the end of the show but wherever she is destruction is sure to follow 18 Dr Horrible Dr Horribles SingAlong Blog Without a doubt one of the most underrated products of the Whedonverse Dr Horribles three act Internet miniseries is a showcase for Neil Patrick Harris superb singing talents and allaround dorkiness Hes an aspiring supervillain with a superhero nemesis named Captain Hammer that always manages to foil his scheming plots But for all his wrongdoings Dr Horrible is really nothing more than a sympathetic character trying to make it into the Evil League of Evil to impress his crush Penny the generous caregiver that volunteers at homeless shelters As supervillains go Dr Horrible falls tragically low on the threatening scale Hes trumped by the condescending hero who saves Penny and manages to steal her attention With some catchy tunes and a voice to match Dr Horrible sings of his torment and vows to get vengeance on Captain Hammer while documenting his plans before a

of Angel Lindsey McDonald served as the sinister lawyer from the evil corporation known as Wolfram Hart Powered by greed he clashed with Angel Investigations as many of his legal representatives crossed paths with the heroes of justice After a failed incantation leaves Lindsey without his right hand he becomes even more enraged by the group In contention with Lilah Morgan for the vice presidency of the company the two spark a long rivalry until he eventually leaves Los Angeles behind in season two Returning for the shows final season Lindsey doesnt take Angels new role as CEO of Wolfram Hart lying down quickly picking back up his position as a leading antagonist Covered in runic tattoos so he cant be detected by the ancient Senior Partners that run the deadly firm he plots to have Angel killed by the company that employs him While his plan backfires he does join forces with the group to take down the Senior Partners only to be killed by Lorne when Angel assures everyone he can not be trusted 15 Cordelia Chase AngelBuffy the Vampire Slayer Initially a misguided high school mean girl Cordelia came into her own in season two of Buffy after sparking an unexpected relationship with Xander bringing her into the fold as a member of the Scooby Gang When she witnesses her thenboyfriend kissing Willow in the season three episode Lovers Walk she effectively ends the relationship and later moves to Los Angeles postgraduation as an aspiring actress joining Angel Investigations as a way to try to make some extra cash Its during her time on Angel that Cordelia was given the most depth Starting things out as the damsel in distress she develops into a headstrong character capable of holding her own Unfortunately she isnt given the proper sendoff she deserves making her season five ending a bittersweet moment between the character and Angel who had become a love interest Her final moments are touching but far from the final fight the other Angel cast members would receive making it all the more disheartening to see such an assertive character depart too soon 14 River Tam Firefly A child prodigy capable of clearing a room of armed men by herself River Tam was the product of years of experimentation which left her with psychic abilities Brought aboard the Serenity as a means of refuge she hides from the Alliance with her older brother Simon a trained surgeon from Osiris who gives up his career to protect her Perceived as an academic talent the Alliance began their testing on River as a teenager in hopes of creating the perfect assassin Now labeled as a fugitive her and her brother must flee from her captors in order to assure her freedom Due to her repeated mistreatment by the Alliance Rivers personality is often perceived as odd She is quiet and calm but can also lash out during a mental outbreak causing her to be quite dangerous to those around her Its later explained that her amygdala the part of the brain which helps filter emotions was removed during the experiments meaning only heavy medication can help her keep control In their crusade to protect her from bounty hunters she brings the members of Serenity together finally finding a place she can call home 13 Daniel Oz Osbourne Buffy the Vampire Slayer Before Willow became one of the most recognizable LGBT characters in television history she dated a guitar player named Oz Initially introduced in the season two episode Inca Mummy Girl Oz performed at The Bronze as part of the band Dingoes Ate My Baby but it wasnt until he hooked up with Willow that his deeply philosophical outlook and witty quips truly began to shine Originally intended to be killed off in season two Oz would eventually gain enough traction with both the viewers and the writers to stick around for a while in season three After being bitten by a werewolf in the episode Phases he would depart the show in order to learn how to control his lycanthropy Although he would return briefly in season four Willows sexual identity had already been firmly established giving the character little incentive to return as a recurring cast member Ultimately his short stint on the show was best remembered for kickstarting Seth Greens career and giving 12 Jayne Cobb Firefly Revered as a Robin Hoodlike legend by the small town of Canton Jayne Cobb is anything but the hero the townsfolk make him out to be Hes a mercenary who lives in a morally gray zone While he sticks to a certain code of honor staying faithful to his employers he does so only under the assumption that he will be compensated for a job well done Appearing brutish and less than sentimental before the crew of the Serenity he proves to be more emotionally layered than meets the eye sending much of his earnings from his activities to his mother Rarely unnerved by any man or woman Jayne has a sense of when danger is near After meeting Captain Malcolm Reynolds while trying to rob him he takes residence with the crew with the promise of a bunk some food and a steady income He demonstrates attachment for everyone on board and grows to show concern for how he is perceived by those he cares about As quick tempered as he is physically intimidating he becomes the muscle of Firefly and slowly becomes a trustworthy character despite his checkered past 11 Wesley WyndamPryce Angel Of all the characters of the Whedonverse none have done more of a complete oneeighty than Wesley WyndamPryce First introduced in Buffy as a pompous member of the Watchers Council intended to take over Giles position as guardian to the slayer Wesley grew into not only a wellgroomed fighter but a tragic character whose tough decisions often leave him bereft of joy Joining the cast of Angel he proves to be the most competent member of the supernatural detective agency but its his rational thinking that ultimately lands him in the position to be called Whedons most vulnerable antihero In his five seasons on Buffy s spinoff series Wesley has a sexual relationship with an amoral lawyer for an ancient demonowned law firm kidnaps Angels son to prevent a prophecy from coming true and sees the love of his life die before his eyes Through the turmoils he transforms from a cowardly shell of a man into the layered hero who puts the common good before himself His bravery is on display during his final stand in the Angel series finale which was enough to convince every viewer just how vital the character had become 10 Faith Buffy the Vampire Slayer Taking into account how Buffy became the slayer Faiths journey to the title is more nontraditional As the prophecy goes whoever is chosen as the next slayer shall take on the role only after the previous slayer has died Following the brief death of Buffy at the end of season one a new line of slayers is started and Faith eventually picks up the mantle Things come to a head between the two in the shows third season when their two clashing personalities show how drastically different a persons approach to the position can truly be With a protective layer of toughness Faith became the sympathetic villain early on She was described as the working class slayer by actress Eliza Dushku due to her lack of friends A product of a broken home she initially perceives Buffys life as idyllic before accepting that the role of a slayer can be a burden She would return to the show for its final season to help activate all of the worlds potential slayers Through the error of her ways she grows to be the savior she thought she could never be making her a worthy hero alongside Sunnydales 9 Angel AngelBuffy the Vampire Slayer Given the name The Scourge of Europe by the eighteenth century citizens who feared him Angel became one of the most notorious vampires in history Sired in 1753 by his maker Darla he took on the name of Angelus and wreaked havoc on all those who stood in his way before having his soul returned to his body as a form of punishment in the late 1800s Since then hes lived with the guilt of his actions and has tried to redeem himself by fighting the forces of evil which consume the world His path of justice brings him face to face with Buffy where he wins her over with his brooding nature Becoming both a love interest and occasional enemy to the slayer he departs for Los Angeles to start up his own investigation company where he clashes with the demonowned law firm Wolfram and Hart His heroics put the wellbeing of humankind before all else while his destiny to prevent apocalyptic tragedy continually puts a strain on his desire for a social life He saves the day time and time again that is when his soul isnt being stolen to release his evil alterego onto the world 8 Anya Jenkins Buffy the Vampire Slayer An ex vengeance demon with a strong phobia of bunnies Anya began her life as a human named Aud in a small Scandinavian village before being turned immortal by the supernatural DHoffryn As a demon Anyanka first appeared in season three of Buffy where she took rightful revenge on all the men who left women scorned After becoming mortal and joining the Scooby Gang she became a recurring member in the shows remaining four seasons As Xanders girlfriend Anya struggles with her own mortality eventually taking a job as a cashier at the Magic Box and looking to settle down Her centuries of experience in demonology made her a suitable successor to Wesley WyndamPrice after he left the show to join Angel but her own distaste for research left her knowledge often lacking compared to Giles geniuslevel intellect With little people skills to speak of her straightforward and frank comments made her both comic and at times emotionally devastating Her final story in the shows series finale made for one of Buffy s most heartbreaking moments giving us all the more reason to rank her so highly 7 Wash Zoe Firefly The only married couple on the list Hoban Wash Washburne and Zoe Alleyne Washburne were inseparable on Firefly and are therefore inseparable on our list Wash first met Zoe after becoming a renowned pilot raised on a polluted planet where he dreamed of seeing the sky As Malcolms secondincommand on the Serenity Zoe had fought alongside the ships captain during the Unification War seeing their resistance against the Alliance come to an end at the Battle of Serenity Valley As a natural leader Zoes commanding attitude clashed with Washs childlike personality but as time wore on he began to have an effect on her Known for her no nonsense approach to danger Zoe was the opposite of her husband who thrived the most in panicked situations Though he kept miniature toy dinosaurs in the ships cockpit as a reminder to never take things too seriously Wash wasnt afraid to step in harms way to resolve conflicts In the movie Serenity the climactic final chapter to Whedons story Wash is killed by a Reaver during an escape leaving Zoe widowed and devastated The crew erect a memorial in his honor and the audience is immediately aware just how much the pair completed each other 6 Xander Harris Buffy the Vampire Slayer Maturity was probably the word furthest from viewers minds when they first saw Xander as the comic relief in the first few seasons of Buffy He was a demon magnet whose own obsession with attractive women did him more harm than good but he was also goodnatured and smarter than people gave him credit for As an underdog without any powers to speak of he was able to view himself as a member of the group with something to prove In later seasons when the rest of the gang was attending college Xander was giving viewers a look at working class society with his alternate career path He meets his equal in Anya and the two spark a romance that seems destined for a happy ending Although he was often the subject of mockery in the show he found himself the most comfortable among the cast as a willful sidekick that would take up arms to defend his friends His maturity may have been called into question but theres no denying he is the type of friend you want by your side when the world comes crumbling down 5 Willow Rosenberg Buffy the Vampire Slayer A few of the characters on our list have doubled as both villains and heroes but none were more unpredictable than Willow In the early seasons of Buffy her innocent portrayal as the archetypal straight A student made her instantly sympathetic She wasnt exactly a part of the incrowd but she fit right into place as the girl who just wanted to date a guy and feel like a normal high schooler Of course wed later learn that her own sexual identity may have been much less straightforward than the early seasons suggested She would go on to date the rockerturnedwerewolf Oz before becoming half of a lesbian power couple with Tara Maclay Somewhere along the way Buffys redheaded best friend loses some of her quirkiness as she becomes the most powerful witch the series has known She must learn to strike a balance between what she is capable of doing and what she knows is right When she is stricken with grief following Taras death in season six we witness the extent of her powers showing just how much of a badass she could be with just a little bit of effort 4 Fred Burkle Angel Ranking Fred so high on our list feels almost like a cheat Not only was she one of the kindest and most intellectual characters in Angel but she also spent some time as an ancient demon named Illyria after her body becomes a host to the character following her death in season five Although she kicks more ass as the bluehaired leatherwearing demon she loses the small town Texas charm that viewers grew accustomed to with Fred Winnifred Fred Burkle is first introduced to the Angel gang at the end of season two after shes sucked through a wormhole and gets stranded in Lornes home world of Pylea A former UCLA student her predilection with numbers and knowledge of quantum physics proves useful to Angel Investigations while her endearing charm makes her an anchor for the group Later she sparks a relationship with Wesley giving her final departure a stab at the top spot for the saddest scene in Whedonverse history 3 Malcolm Mal Reynolds Firefly The captain of the Fireflyclass ship known as Serenity Malcolm Reynolds was written as an nontraditional hero seeking out everything that a typical hero wasnt known for His sole mission is to keep his ship flying and his crew alive though his constant runins with various antagonists often prevent him from doing so As a soldier on the losing side of the Unification War he fought against the rising powers of the Alliance resisting the authoritarian government which controls the majority of territories in the farreaching galaxy Retaining his belief in humanity as his only real sense of a moral philosophy he takes in the gifted River Tam and her brother Simon after the Alliance marks her as a classified weapon Rebelling against an operative who is sent to secure River he houses and cares for the brothersister duo While he takes whatever odd jobs put food on the table he isnt against doing the morally correct thing unless hes pissed off making him one of few men still with a semblance of honor in a future that has long forgotten what it looks like 2 Spike Buffy the Vampire SlayerAngel With his platinum blonde hair British accent and bad boy charm Spike won over viewers as the villain turned good guy in both Buffy and Angel Born under the name William in Victorian era England he was given the moniker William the Bloody for his habit of writing cheesy poetry Sired by his onagain offagain lover Drusilla he adopts the persona of a punk rocker in his later years eventually butting heads with Angel when they both battle for Buffys affections Arriving in Buffy s second season Spike begins as the chief antagonist of the series before being reduced to a sobbing drunk after Drusilla leaves him for a Chaos demon Strongly resembling rock star Billy Idol he is able to win over the slayer initiating a violent relationship despite their past runins In the series finales for both shows he puts his life on the line for the greater good sacrificing his body to prevent apocalyptic chaos from reigning over the world Growing into a beloved antihero hes able to tap into his emotions without always having a soul making him the only such vampire to retain any sense of humanity while still being snide enough to keep his evil image 1 Buffy Summers Buffy the Vampire Slayer The blonde school girl who started it all Buffy Summers isnt only one of the most recognizable female characters of all time she happens to be the biggest badass Joss Whedon ever created Originally conceived as a way to subvert the stereotype of the blonde female victim in horror movies Buffy began her career in the 1992 film Buffy the Vampire Slayer with actress Kristy Swanson in the role The movie would prove to be a misfire which Whedon would acknowledge in interviews when he expressed disappointment in the interpretation of the character In 1997 Whedon would get another crack at bringing his vision to life this time with Sarah Michelle Gellar in the lead role and a new story written for the small screen The second time proved to be the charm as a typical high school girl answered the call becoming the savior of Sunnydale and preventing the Hellmouth from destroying everything around it Beyond being a role model for women and men alike Buffy was openminded and loyal to her friends And though she wasnt always perfect she learned to fit the role of the hero with the help of her supporting cast She became the ultimate Whedon character and its hard to imagine anyone ever taking her crown Which Whedonverse character

mining parameters In data mining association rules are created by analyzing data for frequent ifthen patterns then using the support and confidence criteria to locate the most important relationships within the data Support is how frequently the items appear in the database while confidence is the number of times ifthen statements are accurate Other data mining parameters include Sequence or Path Analysis Classification Clustering and Forecasting Sequence or Path Analysis parameters look for patterns where one event leads to another later event A Sequence is an ordered list of sets of items and it is a common type of data structure found in many databases A Classification parameter looks for new patterns and might result in a change in the way the data is organized Classification algorithms predict variables based on other factors within the database Clustering parameters find and visually document groups of facts that were previously unknown Clustering groups a set of objects and aggregates them based on how similar they are to each other There are different ways a user can implement the cluster which differentiate between each clustering model Fostering parameters within data mining can discover patterns in data that can lead to reasonable predictions about the future also known as predictive analysis Data mining tools and techniques Data mining techniques are used in many research areas including mathematics cybernetics genetics and marketing While data mining techniques are a means to drive efficiencies and predict customer behavior if used correctly a business

PsExec will not work due to File and Print Sharing disabled in firewall 4 favorite We run in a CitrixWyse Terminal environment 200 terminals All users Wyse terminals are not connected to a Domain and users log in with a local user account with no password there is another Administrator account password protected which we use to make changes By default our Wyse terminal build has Windows Firewall enabled File and Print Sharing disabledunticked We have a requirement to reboot all terminals every night and have a PsExec script scheduled to run against all network terminals The problem is ANY PsExec cmd will not execute against a remote ip addressmachine unless either a that machines Firewall is disabled or b File and Print Sharing is enabled so it can access the Admin share Short of having to manually go around every machine where the firewall is on and disabling itallowing File and Print sharing is there anyway to remotely enable FP sharing either by some other non PsExec cmd or remotely add a registry entry bear in mind GPo can not be used as the machines are not on the network We have tried passing through the u and p switch with local user account and pc name when running the PsExec command but no luck As soon as I enable FP Sharing or disable the firewall completely on a test machine the remote PsExec script works pstools improve this question edited Aug 30 13 at 317 slm 4819 12 42 59 asked Aug 30 13 at 257 Daniel 21 1 3 I guess we ultimately just need to allow port 445 which is disabled within File and Printer sharing Daniel Aug 30 13 at 309 Or is there a way to manipulate the local machines GPo Daniel Aug 30 13 at 312 What versionedition of Windows do the terminals run joeqwerty Aug 30 13 at 318 Good point the local terminals are running on Windows XP embedded Daniel Aug 30 13 at 318 1 Answer active oldest votes 3 You need to allow TCP 445 connections from the management machines that are trying to connect to these machines with PSTools You dont need to open it up to everyone but you do need to open it up to those machines answered Aug 30 13 at 1936 Rod MacPherson 201 1 6 If I understand correctly you are saying the server I am running the script from needs to have Port 445 open not the machine I am trying to run the PSExec command against I tried this however I get the same issue it will not allow the PSExec command to run until I open Port 445 on the target Also for reference the server I opened port 445 on had firewall off anyway so 445 would have been open by default I believe Daniel Sep 2 13 at 104 1 The machine you are trying to run the commands on running PSExec against in your words must have file and print turned on and its firewall must allow connections to 445 inbound from the server that is running the script but not necessarily anywhere else Rod MacPherson Sep 3 13 at 151 yes I understand what you are saying and know this is what is needed already see my original post and comments What I am asking is if there is a way to enable Port 445 remotely on a target machines where port 445 is not enabled Port 445 is needed to run a PSExec command so it is a catch22 however I am trying to establish if there is any other way to enable this port remotely without having to use PSExec based on the original scenario outlined other than physically visiting all clients Daniel Sep 3 13 at 230 is PowerShell remoting WinRM enabled You could try using Powershell if it is Rod MacPherson Sep 4 13 at 220 Your Answer By clicking Post Your Answer you acknowledge that you have read our updated terms of service and cookie policy and that your continued use of the website is subject to these policies Not the answer youre looking for Browse other questions tagged pstools or ask your own question
