Re: execute remote commands Windowz

You can use Win32::OLE and WMI to create remote processes. A quick google returned this which should give you an example. (note: the post is about creating a process not working, but the response shows working examples).

Hi,
rchiav's link shows how to create a new process - you can get the remote workstations 'handle' as follows.

#In a "Workstation" module...
sub get_wmi {
        my $self = shift;
        my $name = $self->name or do { 
                warn("Cannot return WMI handle for anonymous workstati
+on.\n");
                return 0; 
                };
        use Win32::OLE ;
        my $wmi = Win32::OLE->GetObject( "winmgmts:{impersonationLevel
+=impersonate,(security)}//$name");
        if ($wmi) {
              return $wmi;        
        }else{
              return 0;
        }   
}

You can then use that handle to start/stop processes on remote machines or list shares etc.
