psexec Access denied

[=?Utf-8?B?emlubw==?=]

if I run the following from the command line as:
C:\PsTools>psex ec -u domain\myUser -p myPassword -i \\remoteServer cmd.exe
it run successfully and it opens the command window on the remote server
if I try to run this same command from an asp net web page from the same
server as :
Dim p As New System.Diagnost ics.Process
Dim pi As New System.Diagnost ics.ProcessStar tInfo
pi.FileName = "C:\PsTools\pse xec.exe"
pi.Arguments = " -u domain\myUser -p myPassword \\remoteServer cmd.exe -i"
p.StartInfo = pi
pi.UseShellExec ute = True
p.Start()

I get "Access denied" error.

user "myUser" is a domain account, and has administrator privilege on both
servers (the local where the command is issued and the remote server)

thanks for help

I got it to work. I was mistaken.
"myUser" did not have an administartor privilege on the source server, then
the "Access denied" error message was coming from the source server and not
the remote one.

now it runs with no error, but nothing happens on the remote sever, I don't
see the command line window neither the cmd process in task manager.

Hi Zino,

First, although Microsoft has acquired sysinternals site, the sysinternals
tools are not official supported yet. Anyway, I will try my best to help
you.

What account does your Asp.net process execute? As I know, Asp.net executed
under the network service account by default which does not have enough
permission to call Psexec tool for this task. This is because Psexec tool
needs administrator privilege to install a windows service to perform some
magic task.

I would recommend you to config the Asp.net to run under the local
administrator account to try it again. Also, in the remote machine, you'd
better use Process Explorer to check the processes list instead of Task
Manager, since Process Explorer has a better view for finding process.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan

Hi Zino,

Glad to see you have resolved the problem youself. Oh, it seems that your
problem is caused by the EULA dialog popped up by Psexec.

To tell psexec to terminate immediately after creating the remote process,
you may pass "-d" switch to Psexec.

As I know, the account executing the Psexec tool does matter. "-u" switch
merely "Specifies optional user name for login to remote computer". More
specific, "-u" switch just provides username/password to allow Psexec to
WNetAddConnecti on2(maybe) API to establish a connection to the remote
machine and launch remote process there. So username/password pair in "-u"
switch is not used on local machine.

On local machine, the Psexec file will create a local windows service to
perform all the detailed real work, so if the running account has no enough
permission, it will fail to install the windows service, so your Asp.net
running thread/process must running with enough permission account token.

Thanks.

your before last post (I did not understand the last one) shed some light on
some things I wasn't aware of.
