Building and running winexe 1.1 on Debian Wheezy and targetting Windows 2012R2.

Hi Guys,

We use winexe in Open-AudIT, so big thanks for your efforts. Trying out Open-AudIT against Windows 2012R2 and I seem to have run up against the SMB1/2/3 issue. I found Wil's bug report here, http://sourceforge.net/p/winexe/bugs/30/ so I thought I'd try building and running 1.1.

TL/DR - 1.1 is failing to run against a target Windows 2012R2 machine.

I built it using the commands below.

mkdir /build
cd /build
apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64 comerr-dev libpopt-dev libbsd-dev zlib1g-dev libc6-dev python-dev libacl1-dev libldap2-dev
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/winexe/winexe-waf winexe-winexe-waf
git clone git://git.samba.org/samba.git samba
cd winexe-winexe-waf/source
./waf --samba-dir=../../samba configure build

That produced the binary - build/winexe-static

There are some seemingly non-existing files searched for when the config / build is run, but I'm unsure if these are essential to actually having winexe-static work (build log attached).

If I try running it against a Win2008 machine like below, it works fine.
./winexe-static -U open-audit/administrator%MYPASSWORD //192.168.0.16 "ipconfig"
<usual ipconfig="" windows="" output=""></usual>

If I try running it against a Win2012r2 machine like below, it fails.
./winexe-static -U open-audit/administrator%Mu@Op007It //192.168.0.53 "ipconfig"
ERROR: Failed to open connection - NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND

If I run the above using -d11, the result is below.
If I try the stdin redirect trick (cat /dev/null | ./winexe-static .... ), there is no difference in output or result (not that I thought there would be, just trying anything).

Any help much appreciated.
