TaskKill

I am attempting to kill a running task on a domain-member PC (name is PC1)
from my one of my domain-member servers (name is Server1) with the following
command. The server is logged into the domain as the domain administrator.

taskkill /S PC1 /U domain1\administrator /P pass /PID 999 /F

where
/S is the system (computer) name PC1,
/U is the administrator user name on domain1,
/P is the administrator password,
/PID is the running process ID on PC1,
/F to forcefully terminate the process.

As a result, I get the error message "Logon failure: unknown user name or
bad password.". What gives? Is there something in Active Directory that
needs to be done to allow this?

I have found that I don't have to supply the user account/password when
doing this between two domain member devices and I'm logged in with a domain
user id that has administrators rights on both devices. Do you get the same
results when dropping the "/u and /p" switches?

If I don't provide the /U and /P parameters, I am still prompted for the
domain\administrator password and it still tells me "Logon failure: unknown
user name or
bad password.".

It's just a wild guess, but did you try logging in with local admin
password of the member PC (if local admin is enabled)? I know it should
work with the domain admin but you could try this...

I had tried that but tried it again; same result:."Logon failure: unknown
user name or bad password.".

Well, the only other thing that comes to my mind is the ADMIN$ share.
Can you check if it's enabled, and, if not, enable it, then try again?
Also, take a look at this:

And check that your firewall isn't blocking something (RPC ports and so
on).
