I prefer to use cygwin and use SSH to then log in to the windows machine to execute commands. Be aware that, by default, cygwin doesn't have OpenSSH installed.

Once you have SSH working on the windows machine you can run a command on it from the Linux machine like this:

ssh user@windowsmachine 'mycommand.exe'

You can also set up ssh authentication keys so that you don't need to enter a password each time.
