It must have administrative rights to the REMOTE machine.

That's one way to achieve it, particularly if you are not running in a
Windows domain, or the target host is in a different domain than you are.
You have WUG run under an account name and password that happens to match an
administrator-equivalent account name and password at the target.

> Is the remote machine in a domain? Is the WUG machine in a domain?

Either can be or not.  If both are in the same domain, the whole thing is
easier because you can run WUG under any account that is in the "Domain
Admins" group.  By default, any machine in a domain allows users in the
Domain Admin group to also administrate that machine.

If both are not, or one is and one isn't, then you probably are going to
have to use the "same username, same password" trick.

Hope that helps.
