PSEXEC Error : No process is on the other end of the pipe

Question

I want to execute a bat file in a remote machine and i tried WMI and PSEXEC. I am getting "No process is on the other end of the pipe." error when i try to run the below psexec command. ``` C:\Users>psexec \111.111.111.111 -u "sss\user1" -p "ss-12" "\111.111.111.111\d$.bat" ``` Below is the entire output: ``` PsExec v2.11 - Execute processes remotely Copyright (C) 2001-2014 Mark Russinovich Sysinternals - www.sysinternals.com Connecting to 111.111.111.111... Starting PSEXESVC service on 111.111.111.111... Connecting with PsExec service on 111.111.111.111... Error reading public key length from PsExec services: No process is on the other end of the pipe. ``` However, the below WMI command is working fine. Please help. ``` wmic /USER:"sss\user1" /PASSWORD:"ss-12" /NODE:111.111.111.111 process call create "D:.bat" ```

Accepted Answer

Try stopping the PSEXESVC service.

```
pskill \HOSTNAME PSEXESVC
```

In your case you would run:

```
pskill \111.111.111.111 -u "sss\user1" -p "ss-12" PSEXESVC
```
