Just a quick Note:
When creating the service there is a space between the = and " ie.
computer called \\remotecomputer:
sc \\remotecomputer create newservice binpath= "c:\nt\system32\newserv.exe"
took me a while to figure out whit it would not work.
Yeah strange syntax with the space after the equal, thanks for mentioning it.
Here's my line that work:
sc create SVC binpath= "c:\svc.exe"
