Thanks for any help.
Do you know that your domain admin account can login?
Have you tried Intelliadmin?

? How can I find out?
Post the answer to this command from an elevated cmd prompt:
wmic /NODE:"servername or IP Address" /USER:"yourdomain\administrator" OS GET Name
It will prompt you for the password.

I ran that on one of the remote PCs and yes it did prompt for a password. Was that what you were after?

@siringo : If you have teamviewer, why not run this from the command line backend?
net user adminUserName passwordYou only have approximately 20 computers so it shouldn't take more than a few minutes.
If you have to create a new admin account :
net user adminUserName password /add net localgroup adaministrators adminUserName /add -

Did you give it the password? Did it correctly respond with the os?

I was hoping for something a little less laborious.

If you are more familiar with GPO, set a STARTUP script (Not a logon script) (startup and shutdown scripts run with system privileges) to run those two commands: net user and net localgroup, then reboot (or wait for reboot) the PC.

Thanks for the help fellas, I'll throw some brain power behind it and see what I end up with.

Most RMMs have the ability to run a command without logging into the GUI. I haven't used TV but just assumed that it would offer this as well. I could be wrong...

AFAIK it doesn't, but it might. ScreenConnect, MeshCentral, Salt, etc. all do.

That's one of the most important features of tools like that. We use it as much as the remote screen access.
