With pstools You can run any command from your Windows PC to any other one. A valid command line alternative to pstools for the linux operating system is winexe.

To install winexe un a natty-ubuntu host (maybe it will work on a quite new debian too), You can add theese twho lines to your sources.list file:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jdthood/winexe/ubuntu natty main

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/jdthood/winexe/ubuntu natty main

then

apt-get update && apt-get install winexe

Once installed winexe, you can do useful things like

winexe //myserver1 –user “DOMAIN\\user” “tasklist /FI \”CPUTIME gt 00:00:10\”"

or simply

winexe //myserver2 –user “Administrator” cmd

and many others! :-)
