I want to access a WinXP machine with psexec but failed with error "Couldn't
access source:"

The settings are below:
Windows XP Professional
Windows Firewall: off

any idea?

Thanks.

Psexec.exe works very nicely on WinXP machines.
 
Below is the whole command I used.

psexec \\<server> -u administrator -p password cmd

PsExec v1.94 - Execute processes remotely

Password:
Couldn't access <server>:
Access is denied.

PS. the credentials are checked without problems.
 
Probably a dumb question but I have to ask, is that the verbatim, exact
word for word command that you used?

Does the following command work?

net use q: \\YourServer\c$ user:administrator password
