Firewall – psexec Windows Server 2008 Firewall

firewallpstoolswindows-server-2008

I am trying to use psexec to run a program on my windows server 2008 boxes. It returns with the message "Can't access myserver: The network path was not found."

If I turn off Windows Server firewall, I can successfully run the command.

Can anyone help me with the specific settings I need to change in windows server 2008 firewall to get this to work?

Thanks in advance…
