You need to supply username and password.

PsExec

Doesn't seem to be working either

I am now typing in cmd psexec \\computername -u username -p password cmd

but as i said still not working

try running it with the -s switch so that it runs under the system account and see if it works. it would look like this:

psexec \\computername -s cmd

Are you on a domain?

Are you on a domain?

It just says workgroup

 

[Dsprague]

psexec will only work on computers that are on the same domain as you, if you don't have a domain set up then psexec is uselss.

how do you set up a domain

I'm guessing your probably in a home situation with multiple computers, so here is a nice tutorial on how to set up a home network that doesn't require expensive hard ware or expensive server software:

Homegroup - Create

If you have any questions feel free to post them here we would be happy to help.

right i have now set up the home group but i forgot to mention that one of the pc's is on vista but not to worry beacuse i think i have managed to connect that to the homegroup anyway but when i do the command it is now saying the handle is invalid

 

[Parman]

Homegroup has nothing to do with psexec and you don't need to be on a domain to use it. Its just different parameters.

Invalid handle means you typed something wrong.

Make sure user has admin rights on pc your connecting to.

Also check if Antivirus is blocking it.

Also try ip address instead of computer
