Problems ending a remote process

[Guest]

Hi

I am trying to make a batch file to be run on one PC, that will end a process on *another* PC on our home LAN. All PCs on the LAN are XP Pro. The batch file contains the following command

taskkill /s SAMCOMP /u "Sam Galson" /p password /im image.ex

The remote computer's name is SAMCOMP, and Sam Galson is an account on it with administrator rights. Why isn't it working? I get the error: "Logon failure: unknown username or bad password". I am certain none of the user/password information is typed wrongly. Any ideas

Thanks
Sam

When you provide
/u "Sam Galson"
are you providing the account Name, or the Full Name
as used for display ?? You need to use the Name, as
listed in lusrmgr.msc

I haven't checked it out yet, but I'm certain that's it. Thanks for your time!
