Default How to connect to a Unix box from Windows and execute a script?

Hi there,

I apologize if this is not the right newsgroup but I might as well ask. At
my work place we have both Windows and Unix although there is no SAMBA
implementation to allow Unix to interact with a Microsoft Windows client or
server (vice versa).

What I want to do is create some Windows program/script (e.g. VBA based
script that will be executed from inside Excel) that would connect to 2
separate Unix accounts (with different login credentials for each account)
and execute a separate shell command on each Unix account.

Any suggestions what is the best way to achieve something like this?

Thanks
Michael
