How to use WMIC to connect to remote machine and output netstat to a file?

Question

I'm trying to issue the following command remotely:

netstat -ano > C:\output.txt

but cannot figure out how to do that with WMIC! Any idea?

I've got:

process call create netstat.exe

working but I cannot figure out how to pass the -ANO nor the output. Help please :)

When issuing remote commands, quote the entire string to execute, like:

wmic /node:remote_computer process call create "netstat.exe -ano > C:\output.txt"

	You probably need to add a `/output:stdout` because it does not do this by default if you want the file on the remote computer (that is ambiguous in your question), or it will be a useless output file. It took me a long time with wmic to figure that out. – alharaka Sep 23 '11 at 8:00
	To add to the question, id like the output to be redirected to the remote machine (the issuer). Thanks! – coddrego Sep 23 '11 at 15:29
