How to connect to a remote Windows machine to execute commands using python?

by

You can connect one computer to another computer in a network by using these two methods:

  • Use WMI library.
  • Netuse method.

WMI

Here is the example to connect using wmi module:

ip = '192.168.1.13'
username="username"
password = 'password'
from socket import *
try:
    print("Establishing connection to %s" %ip)
    connection = wmi.WMI(ip, user=username, password=password)
    print("Connection established")
except wmi.x_wmi:
    print("Your Username and Password of "+getfqdn(ip)+" are wrong.")

netuse

The second method is to use netuse module.

By Netuse, you can connect to remote computer. And you can access all data of the remote computer. It is possible in the following two ways:

  1. Connect by virtual connection.

    import win32api
import win32net
ip = '192.168.1.18'
username="ram"
password = 'ram@123'

use_dict={}
use_dict['remote']=unicode('\\\\192.168.1.18\C$')
use_dict['password']=unicode(password)
use_dict['username']=unicode(username)
win32net.NetUseAdd(None, 2, use_dict)

    To disconnect:

    import win32api
import win32net
win32net.NetUseDel('\\\\192.168.1.18',username,win32net.USE_FORCE)

  2. Mount remote computer drive in local system.

    import win32api
import win32net
import win32netcon,win32wnet

username="user"
password='psw'

try:
    win32wnet.WNetAddConnection2(win32netcon.RESOURCETYPE_DISK, 'Z:','\\\\192.168.1.18\\D$', None, username, password, 0)
    print('connection established successfully')
except:
    print('connection not established')

    To unmount remote computer drive in local system:

    import win32api
import win32net
import win32netcon,win32wnet

win32wnet.WNetCancelConnection2('\\\\192.168.1.4\\D$',1,1)

Before using netuse you should have pywin32 install in your system with python also.
