Status Unavailable in net use command using psexec

Question

We connected to remote computer using psexec. We are running .bat file which initiates scanstate.exe to scan computer files and settings to remote network location \\server\path1. The scanstate error is:

"An error occurred processing the command line. Invalid store path; check the store parameter and/or file system permissions."

Scanstate is using remote disk location: \\server\path1

When we execute net use via psexec session:

    Status       Local     Remote                    Network
    
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Unavailable  F:        \\server\path1           Microsoft Windows Network
    Unavailable  G:        \\server\path2           Microsoft Windows Network

The command completed successfully. 

When we run scanstate from desktop directly (not from psexec), the disks are available and everything works.

When we try map drive via psexec session with domain admin user privileges:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>net use F: \\server\path1 /user:domain\user1 Password1
System error 1312 has occurred.


A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated.

How to access remote network drive via psexec?

This is due to the below group policy. In order to pass the credentials to map the share this policy will need to be disabled. Network access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for authentication Note: Mapping without credentials works with this policy enabled.

1. Open the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).

2. Go to Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options, under group policy editor.

3. Find the policy Network access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for authentication, and set it to disabled or not configured.
