I need to start an executable (such as a batch file) on a remote machine.

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() will not start a new process on a remote
machine ...

Write a listener to run on the remote machine and start the executable
locally? Use WMI?
 
Hmmmm ... well, how does something like SMS or ActiveDirectory work ? How
do they remotely invoke software installs ? (or are the installation
processes actually run on the server and just manipulate the clients?)

What is WMI? Windows Management Instrumentation?

Yep.

I've never really played with it, and it may have the same restrictions
on launching executables remotely as the .NET classes, but it's worth a
look.
