The Remote Command Service provides a secure, robust way to remotely administer and run command-line programs.
Remote Command Service consists of client and server components. The client is a command-line program, Rcmd.exe. The server end, Rcmdsvc.exe, is installed and run as a service. That is, it can be stopped and started locally or remotely via the Control Panel Network application, or locally with the NET START and NET STOP commands. As a service, if configured to start automatically, it will run whenever the system is running, independently of whether a user is locally logged on.
A command session, or "virtual console," is created when a client connects to the server. It is not visible on the desktop, and does not in any way interfere with it. Up to ten clients may be simultaneously connected to the remote command server on a computer, all operating securely and independently of each other.
