I'm trying to get a local system prompt with psexec using the command:

psexec -i -s CMD

I get the following error:

Error establishing communication with PsExec service on LAB
The network path was not found.

Please forgive my ignorance, I'm new at this.

  1. Please check your TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service, it must be running or set to manual startup.

Note:

if you don't set, error when disabled: "The network path was not found."

  1. Try to run with System32 (it has the highest permissions).

  • There must be something fundamental in Windows that I don't understand: Running the command from C:\windows\system32 did make it work. Why does the folder where I run the command from make a difference? Commented Apr 2, 2020 at 9:36
