I run CME as described in the documentation with a user and password specified against a Windows machine. Via the -x or -X option a command should be executed. This does not work however. Here is a debug from that execution:

I attached a screenshot showing the command execution without debug.

Expected behavior would be that the command gets executed and the result is then printed at the very end.

I am using version 6.0 on a Kali Linux system. I installed it as described in the documentation like this:

byt3bl33d3r / CrackMapExec

crackmapexec does not execute command when called with password #798

~ python3 -m pip install pipx

~ git clone https://github.com/mpgn/CrackMapExec

~ cd CrackMapExec

~ pipx install .
