I would like to know how I can run remote applications on Windows Machines. Until now I have been using Windows Powershell remote, that works fine, but only to execute cmdlets. I want to be able to execute any command line application, like launch a Vim session, a Diskpart utility, etc.

You should be able to use the psexec utility from SysInternals to run commands on remote computers.

The syntax to launch a remote command prompt is psexec \\REMOTE-PC cmd.

if the computer don't belong to the same local network, what are the options? I try to use the IP address but it doesn't work. – Ps1CsCpp Jan 24 '11 at 4:09
I'm not completely sure what you mean by 'local network'. If the machine is not part of your authentication domain, you'll need to supply credentials. – RobW Feb 1 '11 at 17:08
