Access command prompt of another PC via IP

Saturday, May 23, 2015

1. Download and extract PsTools to "C:\Windows\System32" in both source and target PCs (In my case both are Windows 8).

2. Open command prompt and type:
"reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\system /v LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f"

Following was the output:
The operation completed successfully.

3. Let us access "ipconfig" remotely as an example. Type the following in the command prompt of the source computer.

psexec \\destination_ip_address -u destination_username -p destination_password ipconfig

Note:
If you get the following error, please try the code given below in the remote PC.

Error:
Couldn't access 192.168.1.106:
The network path was not found.

Make sure that the default admin$ share is enabled on 192.168.1.106.

Code to try:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\AutoShareServer Change the AutoShareServer key to 1
