note 101837 added to function.exec

I was trying to get an acceslist from a remote computer by executing cacls and parse it in php, all in a Windows environment with Apache. First i discovered psexec.exe from Windows SysInternals. But with the following line, I didn´t get anything, it get hunged, although from the command line it worked nice: <?php exec ('c:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\psexec.exe \\192.168.1.224 -u myuser -p mypassword -accepteula cacls c:\\documents\\RRHH && exit', $arrACL ); ?> To make it work I just followed the next steps: - execute services.msc and find the apache service (In my case wampapache) - Right button>Log On tab and change from Local System Account to a user created account, enter the username and the password and restart the service. (I added this user to the administrators group to avoid permissions problems but its not recommended...) It worked! And it may work with IIS too so try it if you have the same poblem.... Hope this helps someone, and sorry for my english ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 62.99.70.211 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/101837 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101837/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101837/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101837/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101837/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101837/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101837/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101837 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/101837 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
