I would like to pull files from remote servers, using a non-
administrative accounts.
I can retrieve information of the file using WMI and supplying
authentication information of account with administrative rights on
those remote servers (but which have no rights on the server that I am
executing the jobs and each remote server has different admin
account). I tried to use the copy method, but it only allows files to
be copied between directories of the remote server. It cannot copy to
the local server. How do I overcome this? I don't want to setup share
on the remote server although I am tried and it works.

The idea is to pull some logs from remote servers but without using
one central domain account with admin rights on all the remote servers
and without doing additional maintenance work (ever, such as setting
up share) on the remote servers.

Thanks for any suggestion.
