Another solution is to use WMI NET or Windows Management Instrumentation       Using the  NET Framework namespace System Management  you can automate administrative tasks using Windows Management Instrumentation  WMI     Code Sample  using System Management      var processToRun   new      notepad exe     var connection   new ConnectionOptions    connection Username    username   connection Password    password   var wmiScope   new ManagementScope String Format       0   root  cimv2   REMOTE COMPUTER NAME   connection   var wmiProcess   new ManagementClass wmiScope  new ManagementPath  Win32 Process    new ObjectGetOptions     wmiProcess InvokeMethod  Create   processToRun     If you have trouble with authentication  then check the DCOM configuration    On the target machine  run dcomcnfg from the command prompt     Expand Component Services Computers My Computer DCOM Config Find Windows Management Instruction  identified with GUID 8BC3F05E-D86B-11D0-A075-00C04FB68820  you can see this in the details view   Edit the properties and then add the username you are trying to login with under the permissions tab   You may need to reboot the service or the entire machine    NOTE  All paths used for the remote process need to be local to the target machine

IMO  in your case you can try this         Map the shared folder to a drive or folder on your machine   here s   how    Access the mapped drive folder as you normally would local files       Nothing needs to be installed  No services need to be running except those that enable folder sharing   If you can access the shared folder and maps it on your machine  most things should work just like local files  including command prompts and all explorer-enhancement tools   This is different from using PsExec  or RDP-ing in  in that you do not need to have administrative rights and or remote desktop terminal services connection rights on the remote server  you just need to be able to access those shared folders   Also make sure you have all the necessary security permissions to run whatever commands tools you want to run on those shared folders as well     If  however you wish the processing to be done on the target machine  then you can try PsExec as  divo and  recursive pointed out  something alongs   PsExec   yourServerName -u yourUserName cmd exe   Which will brings gives you a command prompt at the remote machine  And from there you can execute whatever you want   I am not sure but I think you need either the Server  lanmanserver  or the Terminal Services  TermService  service to be running  which should have already be running
