I want to write a script vbs, batch, or c++ that will connect to a remote system (with full rights, passwords, etc.) and execute a command to be run on that remote system. Any ideas on how I might go about doing this? Cyclone Real Friends Stab You in the Front

There are plenty of ways to do this...It all depends on how the remote system is set up. If it's static and set up as a server, just call a script (PHP, ASP, CGI, ASP.NET, Perl, etc.) via http. This would be easiest. You can also do the same thing with remote procedure calls and web services (or whatever their java equivalent is). Also, I assume windows still has some kind of remote administration you can use. -SN
