I have a Hudson build script which calls the SysInternals PsExec utility. Normally, when PsExec is run for the first time by a given user it pops up a dialog box asking the user to accept the licence. The build agent runs as a service and I can see that the build gets stuck at PsExec. Process Explorer shows that PsExec is running, so I strongly suspect it's displaying that same prompt, but because it's running non-interactively there is no way to accept the prompt. Is there any way to get around this silly limitation? Running on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64.

Use the /accepteula command-line switch to accept the licence agreement. Caution: if the reg key above is set to 0 (EULA was declined once) then the /accepteula will not work, you have to set the key to 1 manually (or delete it altogether). Great, thank you! /accepteula does the trick.
To exit from the command prompt, type exit . PsExec will stop the cmd process on the remote computer and return focus to the local computer. Do NOT use Ctrl-C to close out of an interactive cmd session. Always use exit .
To run an interactive remote command prompt as a different user, run the following command. The introduction of the -u switch for the user and the -p password switch allows us to execute as a different user. Normally PSExec will run with the credentials of the local user that has run the command.
Use the /accepteula command-line switch to accept the licence agreement.
