Using PSEXEC with Isilon File Shares

Question

Hello, We have recently moved some files from our windows file server to the isilon using robocopy so all of the ACL permissions were moved as well. Our packager uses PSEXEC to insall software from the folders we moved to remote machines, however since we moved the folders he gets an unknown username or bad password. The username and password are correct again he has been doing this for a long time before the move. So the question is PSEXEC uses the credentials passed to the local machine to go out to the share and run the exe or batch file. It looks like when it goes out to get the files from the share it is using local system account on the remote computer that is getting the install 'system' to access the files. Wondering if there is something I can do on the isilon side to make this work?

You could, depending on exact security requirements, do a root squash.  You have the option on a cifs share to make all users mapped to root..
