  1. If this is not related to the firewall, which it sounds like it's not, and you definitely have the correct admin password for the remote machine, then check the following:

    • File and Print Sharing is enabled on the remote (and possibly local) machine.
    • The admin$ share of the remote machine exists and is accessible.

    The following article is quite a lengthy explanation of how psexec can work, by Mark Russinovich (creator of the sysinternals suite).
