Run PsExec on Windows Server 2022 via OpenSSH - only display the first three lines

I have a test machine with Windows Server 2022 installed, and I have downloaded the PsTools folder from the official website with PsExec.exe in it, I also enabled OpenSSH server on the machine.

Then I SSH to the test machine from another client, change directory to PsTools, then launch PsExec.exe without any parameters.

Normally it should print with some available parameters that should be used together with psexec, but I can only see the first 3 lines:

PS C:\Tools\PSTools> .\PsExec.exe

PsExec v2.43 - Execute processes remotely

I tried both Command Line and PowerShell as the default shell for OpenSSH, the same result.

Am I missing something?

PS: I tried the same operations on another Windows 10 (run psexec.exe via SSH), and everything works fine.

Solution

  • I found the solution from another question...the answer is quite simple and straightforward...which I should have thought of

    PSexec on remote machine hangs running from Teamcity

    Thanks to @Be.St.

    adding -accepteula solved my problem!
