[Stackoverflow] [Progress OpenEdge ABL] Authentication failed with PsExec on remote machine using OpenEdge driver for Progress

[ryder80]

I have a remote machine (let's call it Target) on which the driver OpenEdge 10.1B is installed (communication with Progress database).

I have an exe on this remote machine that connects to the Progress database through the driver. When i log onto this machine (rdp) with my windows account then I test this executable file, i can see that it connects to the database successfully.

What i need to do is execute this exe remotely, from a machine, call it Source. For this, I use PsTools. Note that I execute this code logged with my windows account (on the same domain than the machine Target) Below is the c# code I use to execute this file.

public static bool Execute(List<string> tablesNames)
{
//the process to start
const string processName = @"C:\script\MyProgram.exe";
var serverName = "theServerName";
//params for MyProgram.exe
var param = "-s " + String.Join(" ", tablesNames);

try
{//example: c:\pstools\psexec.exe \\theServerName C:\script\MyProgram.exe -s tableName1 tableName2
//Start the process
ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo("C:\\PsTools");
info.FileName = @"C:\PsTools\psexec.exe";
info.Arguments = $@"\\{serverName} {processName} " + param;
info.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
info.UseShellExecute = false;
Process p = Process.Start(info);

Console.WriteLine( "Program " + processName + " was started correctly.");
return true;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine( ex.ToString());
return false;
}
}


The error I get on the log of the machine Target is:

System.Data.Odbc.OdbcException (0x80131937): ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
​

Note: the datasource is a system DSN on machine Target.

As I previously said, executing MyProgram.exe works well when i run it directly from machine Target.

Any ideas on what I may have done wrong ?
