These are 2 different methods to execute commands on a PC.

The STRPCCMD utility executes code on a PC that is connected by a 5250
session.
RUNRMTCMD is actually a rexec client that needs a rexec server.

Client Access has a built-in rexec server on the PC, but it it turned
off by default.

Open your PC services console and look for "iSeries Access for Windows
Remote Command". If it is there, turn it on. If it is not, you have to
install it from the Client Access CD.

Keep in mind that the Windows user profile is case sensitive with
RUNRMTCMD, so on the RUNRMTCMD you need to enclose the password in
single quotes. The error message you get in your spool file in this
case should indicate an invalid username or password though. Another
possibility is the request is being blocked by a firewall, either a
software firewall on the PC or one on the network.
