Sadly this took close to 10 hours to figure out. Some protocols such as WinRM and PSEXEC must pass the logged in user account regardless of the credentials supplied (that or PHP overrides whatever you type in). At any rate, to get PSEXEC, WinRM or just kicking off batch files that connect to remote computers, you will need to change the IIS run as account to a user with rights to those resources (service account). I realize this is a huge security hole, but that is by design. PHP is secure so that it can't be hacked easily, you have to override their security by specifying a run as account. Not the same thing as your app pool account - although your IIS credentials can use your app pool account.
