I can net use \\COMPUTERNAME\IPC$ /user:COMPUTERNAME\ADMIN ACCOUNT successfully to a Windows 7 machine where the Window Manager has crashed, but unfortunatley get a System error 5 has occurred & Access is denied when using psexec \\COMPUTERNAME -u ADMIN ACCOUNT -c cmd.

I presume this is because I hadn't configured Windows Firewall to allow this sort of access (I forget what rule needs to be adjusted), right?

Is there any other vector I could explore to just try and run net start uxsms (From How to re-enable aero effects in Windows 7 after it has crashed?) on the remote PC?

PSexec use SMB protocol, so you should try enable rule for TCP 445 port in firewall. Also i think psexec require write access to ADMIN$ share on target computer.
