I have a exe on a Windows machine.
I want to execute the exe through .NET hosted on another machine.

The user id used to execute the exe manually cannot be authenticated as it is not in ACtive directory.

Is there any way to execute the exe.

Yes, use the System.Diagnostics.Process class:

C#

System.Diagnostics.Process p = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\\ProcessName.exe");
            // to close the process, invoke p.Close()
            // to stop the process immediatly, invoke p.Kill()

The method System.Diagnostics.Process.Start returns a System.Diagnostics.Process.

What happens when the exe is on another machine and it requires a specific login to run the exe manually?

Then, do this:
string pw = "password";
System.Security.SecureString s = new SecureString();
foreach (char c in pw)
{
s.AppendChar(c);
}
pw = null;
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\\process.exe", "User", s, Environment.UserDomainName);
