   If anyone ever gets the following error running PSEXEC:

psexec Logon Failure: The target account name is incorrect

... we discovered that the computer account password was out of synch with the AD password.  In this case, it was a VMWare image that was brought up more than 30 days old (which is the password expiration time).

  Hope that helps...
