    Is there anything blocking psexec.exe on that specific server?
    Anti Virus or Anti Spyware program?

    Anti virus is running on all our system, I don't think so this is giving problem.

    Is any port has to be opened for this? Or there may be any firewall issues??
    Let me know

    Are you able to disable the AV on the computer you need to run the psexec on to test to see if it is the AntiVirus?

    Disable the firewall on both machines, test the connection.
    Disable the Antivirus on both machines, test the connection.

    Report the results of those two tests.

    TechEmperor, I tried that. I am running it from an XP machine to a 7 machine. The 7 Machine didn't have an admin account, I created both "admin" and "admin$" still same. Firewalls are both off, the are both on the same workgroup/subnet and everything. They regularly share data effectively. Is this admin$ account something special that needs turned on?

    The "Admin Share" is actually the C$ share. For example, if you go to \\win7box\c$ then it will open the C drive as long as you have administrator credentials on the system.

    The Admin share is the C$ share. For example \\windows7PC\c$ will open the C: drive if you provide admin credentials. No need to create any kind of users for it.
