Here's some info:
I recommend you download and learn WSH from here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c717d943-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en
Prerequisite to running remote scripts.
Remote WSH, which is a new technology included in WSH 5.6, provides the
ability to run a script on a remote machine or machines. With Remote WSH, the
script is physically copied from the local machine to the remote machine
before executing. In order to enable Remote WSH functionality, you must first
set up the remote machine with the proper security settings. The steps below
perform the tasks that enable Remote WSH.
Note Both the remote and local machines must be running Windows NT 4 SP3
or greater in order to use Remote WSH.
To enable a machine to run remote scripts
Install WSH V5.6 on the machine. If you are using Windows 2001 or have
installed Internet Explorer 6 or greater, WSH 5.6 has already been installed.
Note WSH 5.6 is available for download from the web at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting
Add yourself to the remote machine's Local Administrators group.
To enable Remote WSH, use Poledit.exe on the server.
Note An administrator who wants to enable Remote WSH must either acquire
the Windows 2000 resource kit, or use http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting to
acquire the necessary windowsscript.adm file that contains the WSH settings.
The windowsscript.adm file must be copied to the server that sets the
gapplicabel group's policies. Although it is not necessary to copy the file
to the server's \WINNT\INF directory, this is nonetheless where the default
adm files are located.
Note For more information on Poledit.exe, see the Poledit.exe's online
help system.
WSH should now be enabled on the machine. To test it, see Running Scripts
************************************************
WSH 5.6 can run scripts that reside on remote systems. The following scripts
demonstrate this capability. These scripts make the assumption that the files
are located on a local machine directory called "c:\wsh5.6"; change the local
path and the remote machine name as necessary.
After initially running RemoteTest.WSF on the local machine, there may be a
small pause as DCOM verifies your identity. After you see the "Done" message,
a file named "c:\beenhere.txt" on the remote machine indicates the time that
you executed the command (from the remote computer's clock).
' VBScript.
RemoteTest.WSF
-------------------------------
<package>
<job>
<script language="VBScript">
set oController = CreateObject("WSHController")
set oProcess = oController.CreateScript("c:\wsh5.6\beenhere.wsf",
"remmachine")
oProcess.Execute
While oProcess.Status <> 2
WScript.Sleep 100
WEnd
WScript.Echo "Done"
</script>
</job>
</package>
-------------------------------
BeenHere.WSF
-------------------------------
<package>
<job>
<script language="VBScript">
set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set fout = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\beenhere.txt", true)
fout.WriteLine Now
fout.Close
</script>
</job>
</package>
