psexec cannot run .vbs local or unc

Question

I am trying to run a .vbscript remotely via psexec. Even with switches like -u -p -s -c, I am getting errors. Here is what I've tried:

1.)

psexec  -u user@domain -p password -s \\computer  "\\uncpath\file.vbs"

"access denied"

I have seen that to resolve this issue you can add reg key to host and reboot. This is not an option for me.

Next I tried the copy switch for localpath.

2.)

psexec  -u user@domain -p password  -s \\computer  -c "C:\localpath\file.vbs"
"The system cannot find the file specified"

So how can I run a .vbs script via psexec?

Maybe my syntax's is wrong? cmd exited error 1 psexec -u user@domain -p password -s \\computer cmd /c cscript "\\uncpath\file.vbs" — Benjamin Jones, Dec 28 '15 at 17:26
ok removing the switch -s (system) made the script work. I think? All I see is cscript header and no output. Any help? — Benjamin Jones, Dec 28 '15 at 17:45

Ok I figured it out.

Had to take out -s switch. -used cscript
used cscript /nologo switch.

psexec -u user@domain -p password \\computer cscript /nologo "\uncpath\file.vbs"
