PSEXEC, access denied errors

by

Hi i am placing here a summary from many sources online for various solutions to “access is denied” :
most information can be found here (including requirements needed) – sysinternal help

  1. as someone mentioned add this reg key, and then restart the computer :

    reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\system
    /v LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

    Read this knowledge base article to learn what this does and why it is
    needed

  2. Disable firewall (note – this will leave you with out any firewall
    protection)

    netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off

  3. if target user has a blank PW and you dont want to add one, run on target:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
    “LimitBlankPasswordUse”=dword:00000000

  4. This didnt work for me, but i have read it did for others in a few places,
    on target execute:

    Start -> Run -> secpol.msc -> Local Policies -> Security Options -> Network Access: Sharing > and security model for local accounts > Classic – local users authenticate as themselves

    if already in ‘Classic’:

    move to “Guest only – ..” run from elevated command prompt gpupdate \force
    move back to ‘Classic – ..” again run from elevated command prompt gpupdate \force

  5. This one solved my issue:

    run on target from elevated command prompt “net use” look at ouput chart and for shares listed in remote column there (i only deleted the disconnected ones – you can try them all) run “net use [remote path from before list] /delete” then run ‘net use \target\Admin$ /user:[user name]’ enter prompt password request (if empty PW just press enter), viola should work.

good luck, hope this saves someones time.
