RCMD Strips Quotes from the Command Line (161890)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q161890 SYMPTOMS
When you use Rcmd.exe from the Windows NT Server 4.0 Resource Kit and
Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Resource Kit to create a remote command that
requires quotation marks around its parameter(s), you receive
an error.
See the following example:
C:\> rcmd \\myserver net start "computer browser"
Executing on \\myserver: net start computer browser
The service name is invalid.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2185.
Remote server \\myserver disconnected
CAUSE
RCMD strips the quotation marks from the command line (note this behavior
on the second line of the previous example) that results in a single multi-
word parameter being interpreted as two parameters.
