I saw a post a few days ago where somebody was using a download from Microsoft to help restart spawners on the network from your workstation. Any ideas where this thread is? I've tried saerching but so far, no luck...

Mmm. I'm pretty sure it wasn't PSTools. I could be wrong, but I think I tried that years ago and didn't have too much success.Kind Regards,

Here it is from a previous post:

And then run a .bat file that looks like this, just substituting the proper node names and admin username and passord:"Why can't I build a dirigible with my mind?"

I'm running this bat file (which is located in the pstools folder on my master machine):
pskill -t \\NODE_01 -u Username -p Password vrayspawner2009.exe
pskill -t \\NODE_02 -u Username -p Password vrayspawner2009.exe
pskill -t \\NODE_03 -u Username -p Password vrayspawner2009.exe
pskill -t \\NODE_04 -u Username -p Password vrayspawner2009.exe
pskill -t \\NODE_05 -u Username -p Password vrayspawner2009.exe
psexec \\NODE_01 -u Username -p Password -d -i "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2009\vrayspawner2009.exe"
psexec \\NODE_02 -u Username -p Password -d -i "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2009\vrayspawner2009.exe"
psexec \\NODE_03 -u Username -p Password -d -i "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2009\vrayspawner2009.exe"
psexec \\NODE_04 -u Username -p Password -d -i "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2009\vrayspawner2009.exe"
psexec \\NODE_05 -u Username -p Password -d -i "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2009\vrayspawner2009.exe"
But all I keep getting is "Couldn't access NODE_01. The network path was not found. Make sure that the default admin$ share is enabled on NODE_01"
Any ideas?Kind Regards,

OK, disabled the firewall on one of the render machines, and now it does kill the task, but doesn't restart it.Kind Regards,

Here is the actual bat file, where 3dsmax is username, and Discreet3d is the password. We wrote it when we were transitioning between Max 8 and 2008:
C:\SwitchDR\psservice \\SLDNRNDR01 -u 3dsmax -p Discreet3d stop "VRaySpawner 60"
C:\SwitchDR\psservice \\SLDNRNDR01 -u 3dsmax -p Discreet3d start "VRaySpawner 90"
C:\SwitchDR\psservice \\SLDNRNDR02 -u 3dsmax -p Discreet3d stop "VRaySpawner 60"
C:\SwitchDR\psservice \\SLDNRNDR02 -u 3dsmax -p Discreet3d start "VRaySpawner 90"
C:\SwitchDR\psservice \\SLDNRNDR03 -u 3dsmax -p Discreet3d stop "VRaySpawner 60"
C:\SwitchDR\psservice \\SLDNRNDR03 -u 3dsmax -p Discreet3d start "VRaySpawner 90"
C:\SwitchDR\psservice \\SLDNRNDR04 -u 3dsmax -p Discreet3d stop "VRaySpawner 60"
C:\SwitchDR\psservice \\SLDNRNDR04 -u 3dsmax -p Discreet3d start "VRaySpawner 90"
C:\SwitchDR\psservice \\SLDNRNDR05 -u 3dsmax -p Discreet3d stop "VRaySpawner 60"
C:\SwitchDR\psservice \\SLDNRNDR05 -u 3dsmax -p Discreet3d start "VRaySpawner 90"
C:\SwitchDR\psservice \\SLDNRNDR06 -u 3dsmax -p Discreet3d stop "VRaySpawner 60"
C:\SwitchDR\psservice \\SLDNRNDR06 -u 3dsmax -p Discreet3d start "VRaySpawner 90"

Thanks for that. However, we never run spawner as a service as I am sure I have read it can lead to many DR problems. Do you not find this?Kind Regards,
