I thought someone on the list could know it, as it certainly could help 
a *NIX / samba admin to control Windows machines.

Anyway, VNC is not a solution, it needs installing a service on a 
Windows machine and is scrictly GUI; same goes for SSH - it won't work 
unless you install it on a Windows machine and start it as a service.

psexec, on the other way, does not need anything installed on remote 
Windows machine, what you need, is credentials.

It would be very handy to be able to execute simple tasks like that 
(similar to ssh on unices) straight from a Samba server.
