PSEXEC error: The specified application is not on the path

Question

When I run the following:
C:\Windows\System32>c:\windows\System32\psexec \main -h -f -accepteula -u main\asd-p 123 -c c:\windows\system32\wbadmin

I receive error: The specified application is not on the path.
However when I run the following:
C:\Windows\System32>c:\windows\System32\psexec \main -h -f -accepteula -u main\asd-p 123 -c c:\windows\system32\whoami
It runs fine with no errors
I can also run
C:\Windows\System32>c:\windows\System32\psexec \main -h -f -accepteula -u main\asd -p 123 -c c:\windows\system32\ipconfig
And it runs correctly and shows data from ipconfig.

I have been unable to figure out the problem with wbadmin. I run all the above with admin privledges. My local computer is win 11 and the remote is win 10. When my local computer was win 10 wbadmin worked fine. I have admin credentials on both machines pointing to the other. I have checked every permission that I can think of and all are ok.

Answer 1

Don't use the -f and -c switches.

     -c         Copy the specified program to the remote system for  
                execution. If you omit this option the application  
                must be in the system path on the remote system.  
     -f         Copy the specified program even if the file already  
                exists on the remote system.  

My test.

C:\Temp\Tdrive>psexec \\test10 -h  -accepteula -u admin -p admin  wbadmin.exe get status

Answer 2

I think I am ready to give up. I used to have a win10 machine for local computer and for 2 years the local and remote (also a win 10 and still is) talked on a regular basis and exchanged data back and forth. My new local computer is a win 11 and nothing works. PSEXEC won't talk to the remote and if I go to the remote it won't send anything back to local. I have tried everything that I can think of, changing permissions, adding credentials, changing local security policy and group policy, running SFC and DISM on both computers. They all just give different errors but nothing works like it did before.
