Pskill Access is Denied

I am trying to kill a process from a windows 7 computer on a windows 2003 server using pskill.  However, I get access is denied.  I can kill this service using task manager on the server.  It would be nice to be able to kill it and restart it without having to go to the server room on the other side of the building.

I have tried the following:

C:\PSTools\pskill.exe \\server -u server\administrator -p password standard.exe

C:\PSTools\pskill.exe \\server -u domain\administrator -p domainadminpassword standard.exe

As you can see this particular server is not our domain server so I have tried using the domain administrator credentials and the local server administrator credentials.  FYI, the local admin is the user that stays logged on to the server that I am trying to kill the process on.  I am trying to kill from a network administrator logon on the windows 7 machine.

Thanks for your help.

That worked.  I wonder why it worked and the other didn't?  Is there a similar program to start the process again?

Thanks!
