Running Software on Another Machine

Hi

I am looking to perform an RPC like function with a couple of bits of software.

I need computer A to be able to run a program (Called from the command line) on computer B and the program should execute on Computer B (ie no load being put on computer A)

Both Machines are windows 2000 servers.

Does anyone know a way of doing this or a piece of third party software that supports this?

Cheers

J

Code:

Dim RemoteProcess, arRemote, RemotePC, strMachine


strMachine = "DavidsComputer"

Set wmiRoot = GetObject("winmgmts://" & strMachine)

RemoteProcess = "c:\windows\freecell.exe"

arRemotePCs = array(strMachine)

for Each RemotePC in arRemotePCs
	StartProcess RemoteProcess, RemotePC
Next

sub StartProcess (process, strMachine)
	dim proc
	set proc = getobject("winmgmts://" & strMachine & "/root/cimv2").get("win32_process")
	proc.create process
End Sub
