On the victim side, it pops up an AV warning for "Backdoor.Trojan" or

Depending on endpoint protection for network security is really weak,
but this detection could ruin my chances of convincing anyone to that
end! I can provide a working copy of our Symantec setup if it would be
helpful. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is the VT link for the service executable (service.exe) used for
psexec. It doesn't show Symantec' AV flagging it, so this may be
something specific to the Endpoint Protection product:

As long as we make our binaries public, the AV folks will continue to
signature them. You can try using the nmap script and see whether its
heuristics or static sigs, but your best bet is creating your own
replacement.
