Here's another alternative to try where psexec and powershell fail. It's convoluted and hackish, but at least it's something else to try. :)

Firstly, share a folder on your own machine. Make sure an account with admin rights on the remote machine has write access to this share you create. Then execute the following:

wmic /node:remoteComputerAddr /user:adminOnRemoteComputer /password:adminPassword process call create "cmd.exe /c powermt display dev=all >>\\localComputerAddr\shareName\results.txt"
@type "c:\local\path\to\share\results.txt"

Unfortunately, wmic doesn't show you the output of the process it creates. That's why you enable a share on your local workstation, then redirect the output from the remote command to your share.

If you have PowerShell 2.0 or higher on both computers and can enable remoting on the remote computer by execute Enable-PSRemoting -Force, then from an elevated/admin PowerShell prompt you can run:

Invoke-Command -ComputerName remotepcname -ScriptBlock { <commands to execute remotely> }

This will execute the commands remotely and return the results to the local computer.
