Group Policy is going to be a better solution if it is available to you. &nbsp;That way when you upgrade to windows 8 and up it will continue to work as the command argument --make-default-browser doesn't work past Windows 7.<br />
<br />
Do you have admin privileges on the remote machine with the account that you are using to run the psexec command? &nbsp;Can you run another psexec command to test?
</div>


<div>
i have admin access to the machines and can run another psexec command to test. can you provide me with what i need and I will test it? thanks for your time
</div>


<div>
Open a cmd window as administrator, change directory to where the psexec executable is, for instance &quot;C:\PSTools\psexec64.exe&quot;.<wbr /> &nbsp;Run the following command, psexec64.exe \\&quot;Remote PC Name&quot; ipconfig and see if it gives you output for the IP information of the remote PC.

Chrome is a free web browser created by Google. Originally released in 2008, it has grown to become the most used desktop web browser (as of October 2016).

Chrome

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
