How To Remotely Create A User On A Workgroup

does anyone have a clue if it is it possible to create a user on another
workstation remotely on NT 4.0 ?
I've tried creating a batch file to do this (running "net user mr.pink
/add") and scheduling it on other machines using the at command, but this
doesn't work - probably due to the fact that task scheduler logs on as
SYSTEM.
I know that I could amend the service to run under administrator on each
machine, but this would mean amending each machines settings - and making
this whole query pointless.
Help please.
cheers
Steve.
