When using psexec or beyondexec in this manner, the credentials are only
used to authenticate on the remote workstation--they are not "passed
through" to authenticate you to network resources.

There is, however, a way around this.  First, grant the "Domain Computers"
group read access to the network resources you need.  Then, use the "-s"
switch with psexec or beyondexec to connect as the local system account.
Now, you (or the system account, actually) should have access to the network
share.

This may or may not be worthwhile if you're only going to use it to install
the wpkg msi.  However, I run wpkg.js under the system account, so I use
this method for all installs.

Cheers,
