Useful, but not applicable to my case. I want to run a script as scheduled task, that runs some commands on remote computers.
I was thinking in the direction of the Create method in the WMI WIN32_Process class. Do you have any experience with that?

I think I follow what you're trying to do. I have a script that runs on my machine and allows me to execute scripts remotely. I don't see a reason why you wouldn't be able to schedule it.

RemotePC = "<PC Name>"
RemoteScript = "<Path to local script>"
Dim Controller, RemoteScript
Set Controller = wScript.CreateObject("WSHController")
Set RemoteScript = Controller.createscript(RemoteScript, RemotePC)
WScript.ConnectObject RemoteScript, "remote_"
RemoteScript.Execute

do while RemoteScript.Status <> 2
   WScript.Sleep 100
loop

If you're attempting to run scripts on remote XP machines you'll have to do two things on each remote machine, 1) run "wscript -regserver", 2) In HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsScriptHost\Settings set, or create, Remote string value to 1.

-If it ain't broke, break it and make it better.
