Before my domain password expired and was changed, running PSEXEC locally with this command worked. \\fs\storage\QA\Mason\psexec\PSExec.exe \\support02 /accepteula -u build -p password -e -s \\fs\storage\QA\Mason\psexec\Cambria_RI.bat Now, it produces this error: Error establishing communication with PsExec service on SUPPORT02: The system cannot find the file specified. EDIT1: It seems that running PSEXEC locally, with a local target (.bat) file fixes this issue. Why suddenly am I restricted to only using local files? EDIT2: Executing the same command as above but with a different target machine machine will also work. psexec share|improve this question edited Jul 28 '15 at 19:15 asked Jul 28 '15 at 17:33 Mason Itkin 67211 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote One known solution for this exact error is to kill any rogue psexecsvc.exe process on the target machine. While this works for remote callers, I suspect it may resolve local issues as well. If the psexecsvc.exe is hanging around after using psexec, something is likely going wrong like an application crash or s

PsExec service on [hostname]: No process is on the error communicating other end of the pipe." As usual, google came to the rescue but it took a lot of forum scanning to find a result. The quick error communicating with fix is to do this: pslist \\[hostname] You should find a process called PSEXESVC, if you _pskill_ it, then you should be able to use PsExec again. This happened to me after I’d used the SCCM Configuration Manager Console to initiate a_Interactive Command Prompt_ which I subsequently closed without terminateing the process cleanly.

page. The download link will be at the bottom of the page. How do I install PSTools? InstallationNone of the tools requires any special installation. You don't even need to install any client software on the remote computers at which you target them. Run them by typing their name and any command-line options you want. To show complete usage information, specify the "-?" command-line option. Cf. here:PStools web page.So the installation procedure is really simple: download thePSTools.zip. create a folder on your local disk, i.e. "%ProgramFiles%\PsTools". unzip all files insidePsTools.zipto the newly created folder. Note:if you already have a newer version ofpdh.dllon your machine (very likely in%windir%\system32), you do not need thepdh.dllinsidePStools.zip. Simply delete pdh.dll which you just extracted from the newly created folder. Installation done. Note:You will not find PSTools underControl Panel=>Add/Remove Programs How do I uninstall PSTools?If you have read the Installation Instruction above, the answer is pretty obvious: Make sure no PSTools command is running on your machine. Remove all PSTools files from the folder where you extracted them to. If the folder is empty now, you may remove it, too. PSTools have been uninstalled. PsTools V2.40 or newer:Starting with PsTools V2.40, each PsTools command will, when launched for the first time, create a regkey namedHKCU\Software\Sysinternals\\EulaAccepted=0x01. If you wish to remove these keys as well, then you will need to remove them for each user who ever used PsTools on the machine. Yet leaving the keys inside the registry will do no harm except waste a few bytes. How do I run a PSTools command?PsTools commands are console applications. This means they have not got a GUI, a graphical user interface. Double clicking on the executable files will just result in a command window popping up and closing pretty fast.Instead open a command window e.g. by clicking onStart=>Runand typing incmd.exe.Inside the the command window change to the folder where you extracted the PStools files, i.e.cd "%programfiles%\PStools", if this is where you stored them. Run them by typing their name and any command-line options you want. To show compl
