sounds like a name server problem. You could try

ping serverip
ping servername
ping servername.your.domain

My guess: the first one will succeed, the second maybe fail - and the 
last perhaps succeed.

So this could be an issue with network setup, there the local computer
has no domain assigned.

Or you can just live with that - use the serverip for the msi path when
starting psexec.
