Yes, it does matter a lot. Your X server might only listen to localhost so setting the DISPLAY variable on the remote host won't work.

What you might try is to locate an X terminal emulator on the server that fails (eg. xterm) and launch it instead of a full desktop in the .bat file:

Code:

run plink -ssh -X %REMOTE_HOST% /usr/bin/xterm

or even run directly the application you look for:

Code:

run plink -ssh -X %REMOTE_HOST% /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_67/bin/jvisualvm
