Remote server administration

I'm after an application that can assist in remote management of servers on a domain.

Primarily adding/removing users as local admins across a number of servers. Using RDP is a ball ache and there must be a simpler way.

I sure I could user PowerShell, but my scripting skills are non-existent!

Has anyone come across anything that might sound helpful?

Cheers!

Check out www.kaseya.com/

its very pricey but fucking awesome when you get it setup.

I'm not sure if spiceworks can do what you are after, but look into it.

Both of them require some scripting to setup though.

Follow this guide for PS script

its not hard and fairly satisfying when your first batch of 250 accounts are created Very Happy

Also consider vbscript. Admittedly, Powershell is the future. Personally, I've only used vbscript, so I can't compare the two. VBS is extremely easy though and there are plenty of examples online for just about anything could need to do.
