I was recently taking a look a making remote calls from linux to a windows server. I found this nice little tool that makes this task pretty simple with winexe. It’s basically like psexe but for linux. I was having problems getting version 0.80 working on some environments but v 0.90 seems to work on everything I have tried. (complied with a new version of glibc) Here are the options.

Apparently it’s maintained by Stuart Henderson, but it looks somewhat dead? The site link doesn’t work. (returns blank page) http://eol.ovh.org/winexe/
Some ways to use it:
winexe -U DOMAIN/Username%Passwd //192.168.1.123 "ipconfig /all"
winexe -U DOMAIN/Username%Passwd //remote.com \
'cmd /C net stop SomeService && net start SomeService && echo AutoUpdates service restarted'
or get a shell,
winexe -U DOMAIN/Username%Passwd //remote.com 'cmd.exe'
or use it to configure synergy,
#!/bin/bash
OUT='winexe -U MAIN/User%Pass --runas MAIN/UserB%Pass //your-other-comp "ipconfig"'
IP=`$OUT | grep "IPv4" | awk {'print $14'}`
synergyc $IP
