You might be able to use winbind to joing the domain and then use the
"net" command to do stuff like that.

| Hey all..
|
| first off, I'm sorry if this is posted somewhere or in the docs ... I've
| spent numerous hours searching and not had any luck, so here goes ..
|
| We remotely admin a few thousand xp machines ... currently we have to
| have a person at a machine enable the telnet service for us (through a
| handy front end) so we can connect and check things out.  After some
| poking around the samba docs, I'm led to believe that there should be a
| way to remotely start a service from the command line.
|
| Can anyone tell me if I'm correct, and if so, how?  I've tried doing
| smbclient //x.y.z.a/TlntSvr -U username but that doesn't work and thats
| the closest I've gotten.  I saw a post from 2000 on another list that
| mentioned using rpcclient I think, but nothing further.
|
| Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as it would cut out a lot
| of fumbling around/waiting on hold when trying to fix problems.
|
| Cheers!
|
| t.
