How to connect to a remote Windows machine to execute commands using python?

by

You can use pywinrm library instead which is cross-platform compatible.

Here is a simple code example:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import winrm

# Create winrm connection.
sess = winrm.Session('https://10.0.0.1', auth=('username', 'password'), transport="kerberos")
result = sess.run_cmd('ipconfig', ['/all'])

Install library via: pip install pywinrm requests_kerberos.

Here is another example from this page to run Powershell script on a remote host:

import winrm

ps_script = """$strComputer = $Host
Clear
$RAM = WmiObject Win32_ComputerSystem
$MB = 1048576

"Installed Memory: " + [int]($RAM.TotalPhysicalMemory /$MB) + " MB" """

s = winrm.Session('windows-host.example.com', auth=('john.smith', 'secret'))
r = s.run_ps(ps_script)
>>> r.status_code
0
>>> r.std_out
Installed Memory: 3840 MB

>>> r.std_err
