Is it possible to “net user /active:yes” remotely?

Question

I have two computers, compA and compB

I have admin access to both. I also have remote access to both. However, im wondering. Is there an easier way to activate a local account on a remote machine? If I log into computer A can I remotely enable an account that resides locally on computer B?

Instead of having to remote into B to enable the account

Answer 1

If both computers are on the same network, then once you are logged into A, you may execute the net use command on B by using the psexec utility:

psexec \\compB net user user-name /active:yes

If necessary, you may also specify user and password on the command.
