Microsoft Windows Authenticated Administration Utility
Description
This module uses a valid administrator username and password to execute an arbitrary command on one or more hosts, using a similar technique than the "psexec" utility provided by SysInternals. Daisy chaining commands with '&' does not work and users shouldn't try it. This module is useful because it doesn't need to upload any binaries to the target machine.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
