I wrote some c# code that uses PSexe. I want it to run a remote exe on a machine connected to my LAN.

That exe creates a new local user. When I run that exe locally on the remote machine (after right click --> "run as Admin") - it works fine. I don;t know how to simulate the right click --> "run as Admin" from Psexec. I have tried the -l flag but it didn't work

Simply add a -h after adding your credentials using a -u -p, and it will run with elevated privileges.

Use psexec -s

The s switch will cause it to run under system account which is the same as running an elevated admin prompt. just used it to enable WinRM remotely.
