Domain, but I had tried local as well.  Both did not work.

Command mode: New console
Run as system: yes
Cache Security: no
Allow generic security: yes
Generic security runs command as logged-on user: yes

Ideally I would like the PC command sent to be run as if typed by the 
logged on user via a command line.

Thanks for the clarification on REXEC I had misunderstood its use until 
this thread.

Unfortunately the event viewer showed nothing relating to my failed 
attempts to use RUNRMTCMD.  No application errors, no security errors. 
I had hoped that there was some kind of logging that could be turned on 
via the service but I haven't seen anything yet.
