PSexec copyright output

Question

Does anyone know, how to disable "copyright header" from appearing when running PSExec? Everutime I run "./psexec ..." command I see this message:

PsExec v2.11 - Execute processes remotely
Copyright (C) 2001-2014 Mark Russinovich
Sysinternals - www.sysinternals.com

It's really annoying and it bloats up output of my script.

Thanks

Answer 1

There does not appear to be a way to disable it from occurring, but as a workaround you could redirect STDERR which will suppress the output,

psexec \\remotemachine command 2>nul

Answer 2

PsExec v2.2 comes with -nobanner option.

Answer 3

Or better you can do

set F1=find /v "PsExec v2.11 - Execute processes remotely"
set F2=find /v "Copyright (C) 2001-2014 Mark Russinovich"
set F3=find /v "Sysinternals - www.sysinternals.com"
set FILTER=%F1%^|%F2%^|%F3%

psexec \\remotemachine command 2>&1 | %FILTER%

I know this is a rather old question, but since it's tagged PowerShell and there hasn't been a PowerShell specific response, here goes:

I wanted to get the value of the environment variable %SystemRoot% on a remote machine, without enabling WinRM.
My invocation in PowerShell was:
$ret = & PsExec.exe \\RemoteMachine powershell.exe -Command '$env:SYSTEMROOT'

This returned an array of type Object[], with one element per line of output received. Sample output, with corresponding array index:

PS> $ret
(0)
(1) PsExec v2.2 - Execute processes remotely
(2) Copyright (C) 2001-2016 Mark Russinovich
(3) Sysinternals - www.sysinternals.com
(4)
(5) C:\WINDOWS

As you can see my desired output was the 6th value in the returned array.

This does also work with PowerShell scripts or commands that output more than one line, as each printed line is appended to the array as a new element.

With that in mind we can tidy our returned output up with the following:
$ret = $ret[5..($ret.Count - 1)]

This basically just removes the first five elements.

I have not tested this solution with programs other than PowerShell though, so use with care.

Answer 5

Did you try this:

psexec.exe -nobanner -accepteula

Answer 6

Its work for me:

(.\PsExec.exe -h \\$Server powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -NoProfile -NonInteractive -NoLogo -File "C:\$WorkFolder\$File") | Findstr /v "Sysinternals" | Findstr /v "PsExec" | Findstr /v "Russinovich"
