misc: psexec service is an incompatible version...?

i run into this problem often enough to have written a small batch file for it. it's really a pretty simple correction but quite irritating. anyway, this is the batch file contents. (this is the kind of stuff you can write before your first cup of coffee. funny how we have to get irritated enough times before doing something to make things easier.)

sc \\%1 stop psexesvc
del \\%1\admin$\psexesvc.exe
del \\%1\admin$\system32\psexesvc.exe
sc \\%1 delete psexesvc

stop the service.  (it's probably running). delete the psexesvc.exe files that are copied to the server when you initiate a psexec command, then remove the service entirely. once you run psexec again after these steps on the broken client, it should start working again.

c:\myBatchFile.bat [servername]
