net use \\servername\ipc$ * /user:servername\adminaccount

then every communication between the pc's are done with the adminaccount-credentials.
no need for any admin$ share....

ProduKey run locally works fine. I've made sure that I've completed all 5 steps above. Any other suggestions on getting this to work on remote Windows 7 systems?

Currently I'm trying to debug a BSOD machine by running Bart PE over the top and some of your excellent utilities. So rather than a remote machine, I needed to change the instance of the program to get it focusing on the underlying system, not the Bart PE live system. This was a brilliant feature. I was super pleased to find it. Unfortunately the same facility appears available but only via command line, for only some of your utilities. If you could find the time to add the same "Advanced Options" GUI for setting the instance or remote machine your utilities are targeting, that would be awesome.
