I'd use WinRM if you're looking to run a DOS-style command:
PS > get-content pclist.txt|foreach-object{winrs /r:$_ net user}
You may have to do something like this though:
PS > get-content pclist.txt|foreach-object{winrs /r:$_ /u:your_username
/p:your_password net user}
Assuming you have WinRM running everywhere... Do you? Otherwise,
perhaps WMI...

Does ADSI depend on RPC? Must try it someday.

Aside from Brandon (for whom we already know the answer :) ), I'm curious to
know who has deployed and is using WinRM in any capacity right now? I'm not
talking specifically about the PS V2 CTP remoting, because I know the Vista/2008
requirements push it beyond the applicability of many. In a more general sense,
have you played with it at all?

customers that use WinRM or even had it on their radar. A couple (these are
smart people on top of things) didn't even know exactly what WinRM is.

Thanks for the powershell codes. While waiting for the input of the
professionals here, i manage in another way via batch file.
@echo off
cls
:: sets the filename that contains list of pc names
set filename=pclist.txt
:: Sets your password
set password=xxxxxx
:: Which account to change password
set admin=administrator
For /F %%i In (%filename%) Do Call :Ping4Name %%i
:Ping4Name
For /F "Tokens=2" %%a In ('ping -n 1 %1 ^| find /i "Reply"') Do (
cusrmgr.exe -u %admin% -m \\%1 -P %password% )
:eof

>> looking to run a DOS
DOS????
Y'all know there are still people
using DOS (the OS) and DOS
programs?
The rest of us are using Windows
(the OS) and Windows console
programs or Windows graphic
programs or newer Windows .NET
programs (console and graphic)! :)

Mmm perhaps a more
"interesting" question is:
Who really thinks they have
_not_
used _any_ "WinRM parts"?
Yep, perhaps it is time to learn
modern Windows and the modern
Windows tools (like multi-processes
port sharing and even the Windows
data parser, Log Parser 2.2 with
built-in ChartSpace charting)!
