PSExex tools not working

Dear Experts,

I'm trying to use PsExec tools to remotely access our client PC where I have local admins permission, I'm also having our AD admins permission.
I can remote desktop to access that PC (actually I tried 3 PCs with same error) but can't use PsExec no matter what.

Any idea what I have done wrong?
Thanks a lot!

Hi @EavenHuang

The account you are using to run PsExec is not a member of the administrators at the remote workstation or it hasn't been granted 'Access this machine from the network' rights.

Hi @GaryReynolds,

The account is a member of local administrator and even member of domain administrator. Any other clues?

If the account has the rights and you are running it from a command prompt with run as administrator, then have a look at this post, which suggests that the later versions on PSExec now requires a -i parameter https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/233240/logon-failure-the-user-has-not-been-granted-the-re.html
