Bill,

WMI = Windows Management Instrumentation?  We do not use such a package in our WIN2k server environments.
Unfortunately, rsh requires a server process running on the server, which can only be installed by the administrative team.  Are there no packages offered through CPAN/Other?

Unless you've taken deliberate steps to remove it---I'm not even sure one can---you've got WMI:  it's integral to Windows, the basis for the Performance Monitor tool.

I've used the Win32::Process::Info module, which I installed through CPAN.  It can operate on both NT and WMI counters.  TheWMI version gives you a lot more information but, sadly, it leaks a little bit, so if you're after memory information, it might not be helpful.

$Bill is right:  sysinternals.com has a utility named psexec that doesn't require server-side installation. Assuming you are logged in locally in an account that have administrative priviliges on the remote machine it uses the $IPC share to push a copy of itself over to the other server and start a service process.  It's a little funny with line I/O (reminds of the bad old days of remote terminal sessions), but for the basics I've found it very useful.  Lots (I mean it:  *lots*) of other free, very useful goodies on sysinternals.

Cheers,
Richard
