I am getting the following error if I try to use PsExec (psexec \\MyServer cmd
, nothing fancy)
PsExec v2.1 - Execute processes remotely

Error establishing communication with PsExec service on MyServer:
Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.
(Translation of the last part: the system cannot find the file specified)
PsInfo returns:

Now I've read that I should kill the PSEXESVC process on the server, stop the service and delete the service. I did that, but as soon as I retry it, it just recreates the service and it keeps running again.
We also tried to disable the virus scanner for a short test, but that didn't work either.
The best thing is: It worked 2 days ago!
I am out of ideas, maybe someone else could give me a hint?
