When you try to run a process on a remote machine using PSEXEC.EXE, you receive this error:

Couldn't access SERVER01: The specified network name is no longer available.

Usually this error appears when PSEXESVC service is installed on the remote machine and

Solution:

SC \\SERVER01 stop psexesvc
SC \\SERVER01 delete psexesvc
