  Hey guys,

  I'm creating a SSIS package and one of the first steps is to stop services on a remote server so I created a batch file on the remote server (NET STOP blah blah...) but now I need a way of calling this file. Any help?

  it's been a while since i sued it but PSEXEC from the PSTools suite is designed for executing things on a remote system...there might be some permissions issues if you are trying to use it via tSQL, but that's one possibility.:

  Yes, this is harder than you might think. PSEXEC is what I have used in the past.
