PsExec is a command-line tool developed by Sysinternals, a subsidiary of Microsoft. It allows users to remotely execute processes on other computers within a network. With PsExec, administrators can perform various administrative tasks such as running commands, launching programs, and even initiating a remote system shutdown.

The tool requires administrative privileges on the target machine and is capable of working with both local and remote systems. It utilizes administrative shares and the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol to establish connections and execute commands remotely.

PsExec supports a wide range of commands and parameters, enabling users to specify the username and password for authentication, work with different protocols, and specify the priority of the remote process. It provides options for running processes either in the interactive or non-interactive mode, allowing administrators to remotely troubleshoot and manage systems without physically being present.

The tool has gained popularity among system administrators for its ability to distribute software, configure systems, and troubleshoot issues remotely. It provides a convenient and powerful way to manage multiple systems simultaneously, saving time and effort. PsExec is widely used in enterprise environments and has become an essential tool for remote administration and system management.
