Pushing out a program to a list of computers?

Is there a way we can run a program on a remote computer/s remotely?
Can I do this without loading any software on the remote machine?
These computers will all be Windows XP...

Thx for your advise....

Various ways depending on what you really mean -- submit as a remote
batch job, through telnet or Terminal Services, or by using PSExec (etc)
from SysInternals.com
Can I do this without loading any software on the remote machine?

Depends on what you mean by "loading" and even then it is program
specific. You can run program over a network from a file server sharepoint.
But of course the program is "loaded" into memory on the machine where it
runs.

Most command line programs and some Windows graphical programs can
run without an "official installation" -- some like WinZip will DO the
install
on first run and the only real installation are registry settings and
configuration.

Many Windows graphical applications require significant install before they
will work properly (Adobe Photoshop or Reader, Office applications like
Word or Outlook etc.)
These computers will all be Windows XP...

What are you really trying to ACCOMPLISH?
