The launched program can run as a specific user, or as the Local System account. It can run visibly or silently. It’s very useful for opening a quick terminal-like session to the server, checking configuration or remotely installing other software. Command-line options can be seen at the PAExec site.

- It’s similar to Microsoft’s PsExec utility with a few extra features:
- Command line parameters (username/passwords) are scrambled instead of sent in clear text
- It can be redistributed by anyone
- Has some extra often-requested features like logging, and not deleting a file that is copied to the server
