You can pass a username in PSEXEC as follows:

psexec \\compname -u {domain}\{username} -p {password} gpresult

My oersonal experience is that if you gat error with PSEXEC it is "usually" authentication if the command passed well formed i.e. correct.

Good luck!

I did everything as you recommend, but I get the same error.

Have you got a space between the \\ and the compname?

The computers on which I tried to debug the exec command is what is incomprehensible state, on the one hand, he responds to the ping and psexec \ \compname ipconfig, on the other hand, he does not answer the original command, and also on the VSC. I moved to another home computer (in same OU), which was responsible for VNC and tried to run a command psexec \\compname2 gpresult and get :

Couldn't access The network path was not found.
Make sure that the default admin$ share is enabled on compname2.

Then I checked the group policies, and it turned out that the file and printer sharing exceptions are open to the old ip addresses domain admins. I corrected the addresses and is now waiting for the user restarts the computer
