We have deployed things using the symantec norton antivirus central
console (don't remember the exact real name). It was easy to remotely
execute anything with this, unfortunatly, the latest versions do not
allows you to do this anymore.

A solution could be to add a registry entry in
HKLM\microsoft\windows\currentversion\runonce ? Or maybe the runex (I
don't know what is its purpose). But I doubt your users have admin
privilege.
