Execute batch file remotely

[mjjks]

I have a VB 6 DLL that does bunch of things.
Now I need to add functionality to execute a batch file on a server. VB 6 cannot execute command/batch files if they're not on the same machine.

This feature is important, so I was thinking to try and rewrite component in C# as I know a little bit and probably could tweak a sample code.

Anyone can advise me if that can be done fairly easily or it might involve some deep learning?

Maybe code sample or links? Thanks much.

I searched boards, Google and found a VB.Net sample that I converted to C#.
It uses WMI and returns success(0) with process ID, however batch file doesn't execute/code within batch file doesn't execute. Any ideas how to overcome this issue?
Thanks

ConnectionOptions cOptions = new ConnectionOptions();
String workingDir = "D:\\FolderOnRemoteServer\\";
String mCommand = "cmd MyTestbatchFile.bat";
String servername = "\\\\NetworkServer\\";
ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope(servername + "root\\cimv2", cOptions);

try
{
scope.Connect();
ManagementPath mp = new ManagementPath(servername + "root\\cimv2:Win32_Process");
ManagementClass mo = new ManagementClass(scope, mp, new ObjectGetOptions(null, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 5), true));
ManagementBaseObject inParams = mo.GetMethodParameters("Create");
InvokeMethodOptions options = new InvokeMethodOptions();
inParams.SetPropertyValue("CommandLine", mCommand);
inParams.SetPropertyValue("CurrentDirectory",workingDir);


ManagementBaseObject mbo = mo.InvokeMethod("Create", inParams, options);
Object rv = mbo.GetPropertyValue("returnvalue");
Object prid = mbo.GetPropertyValue("processid");

}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Failed to connect: " + e.Message);
}
