Is there a way to run commands from the cmd prompt on a remote PC using vbscript? Can this be done witout copying the script to the remote PC or using other utilities (PsExec, etc)?

This works only for the local PC:

Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objShell.Run "dir"

Thanks.

To run DIR against another machine you can use this:
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
strComputer = "Machine Name"
strShare = "The Share"

Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set objExec = objShell.Exec("cmd /c dir \\" & strComputer & "\" & strShare)
val = val & objExec.StdOut.ReadAll
wscript.echo val
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're actually wanting to run an executible/script/whatever, then you're going to need to use something like PSEXEC in your script. Without, you'll still be able to run those items, but it will be ran against the machine your actually running the script from.
