Access is denied connecting to admin$

Question

When running paexec the following is returned:

Connecting to probe... Failed to connect to \\probe\ADMIN$. Access is denied. [Err=0x5, 5] Failed to copy [C:\Windows\system32\paexec.exe] to [\\probe\ADMIN$\PAExec-121512
-DC01.exe] -- going to try to continue anyway. The system cannot find the file s pecified. [Err=0x2, 2] Starting PAExec service on probe... Failed to start service on probe The system cannot find the file specified. [Err
=0x2, 2] Failed to stop PAExec service. The service has not been started. [Err=0x426, 106 2]

PAExec returning exit code -6

I can connect to the admin$ share in explorer however. Any ideas?

Answer 1

0	See if the following command succeeds from a command prompt: NET USE \PROBEADMIN$ Also, I assume you are running PAExec as the same account that you're running Explorer with? link answered 10 May '13, 12:09 Doug ♦♦ 10.2k●12●21●38 accept rate: 21%
