Hi,
You can "ask" remote host to perform action remotely (in background or not), just like you are on host by using PowerShell or if you really need batch file by "older" WMIC.
example:
c:\wmic /node:hostname process call create "call c:\any_file"
where hostname=host you want to connect inside your network (Name or IP)
any_file=file you want to use
You can use buildIn WMIC API or start / stop processes
