Not sure what you mean - I'm not aware of any sort of limit on the amount of data that can be output by PsExec.  For example, I've ran long-standing CMD.EXE sessions into a remote box, where PsExec must have transmitted hundreds of KBs of output, if not more, with no problem...

I did have an older version from maybe last year.  I just downloaded the new one, and it works now.  Thanks.
 
But is there a byte limit on data returned by a psexec call?

Hi mckludge,

What version of PsExec are you using? Please ensure you're using the latest version, currently v1.96.

I am trying to use psexec to run netstat -ano on a remote system to see which ports are in use.  I run the command

psexex \\computer x.x.x.x -u {username} -p {password} netstat -ano

When I run this on x.x.x.72, the normal output of netstat is returned.
When I run this on x.x.x.40, only "netstat exited on x.x.x.40 with error code 0" is returned.

.40 is Windows Server 2003, and .72 is XP.  Does psexec behave differently XP than Server 2003?  Is there a byte limit on the data returned by a psexec call?
