Running a process locally inside another RDP session #9

Closed justinttl closed 5 years ago

Hi, just want to ask a simple use case question.

Does this support running a process in another interactive RDP session within the same machine?

Something along the lines of 

PsExec.exe  -i $(SESSION_ID) -w $(pwd) <command>

Thanks~

While it should work I've had mixed results with getting it to work. You can specify these arguments when calling run_executable() like;

stdout, stderr, rc = c.run_executable("notepad.exe",
                                      interactive=True,
                                      interactive_session=1,
                                      working_dir="C:\\Users")

The key is having interactive=True and then specify the session with interactive_session.

@justinttl were you able to try this out?

Hey, sorry didn't manage to find time to explore this path. Ended up directly using win32 APIs to invoke the sequence of processes by using a User Token. Obviously this requires high level of permissions in the OS, but ultimately I thought that was a better solution.

I might try the suggested approach one day and drop a reply here. Please feel free to close out the issue for now!

Thanks.
