Failed , nay!

 

PS: I've manually disabled any protections(firewall, etc) and enabled all sharing/remote access options I could find on each target but stil no luck.

 

 

Will someone point out where I'm wrong please? /:

Do you have Powershell installed?

[Raa]

Doesn't the remote registry service need to be enabled, or am I on the wrong track...

Is your target set to Classic authentication?

Had to use photobucket to provide pictures, I haven't had PowerShell installed yet but I'll find out more about it.

What do you think psexec is? All it's doing is using powerhsell on the target machine to execute a command.

My bad, I stand corrected

"All it's doing is using powerhsell on the target machine to execute a command."

 

Where did you get that? That is not the case at all

ps in psexec does not stand for powershell   It gots its name from the ps command in unix.  Read the above article for some history and insight on the command.

 

powershell came out in what 2006, that article on psexec was written in 2004 well before powershell was even avaiable as an oddon.

Well there you go.
