If Jenkins on Windows, remote on *nix, use plink.exe (which is essentially command line PuTTy)

If Jenkins on Windows, remote on Window, use psexec.exe

If Jenkins on *nix, remote on *nix, use ssh

If Jenkins on *nix, remote on Windows, (update 2015-01) Ansible http://docs.ansible.com/intro_windows.html has support for calling Windows commands, eg powershell, from a unix/linux machine, https://github.com/ansible/ansible-examples/blob/master/windows/run-powershell.yml

Edit:
The download page for psexec.exe lists all command line options. You will want something along the lines of:

psexec \\remotecomputername -u remoteusername -p remotepassword cmd /c
Replace with actual commands as you would execute them from command prompt.

Note that psexec first needs to install a service, and required elevated command prompt/admin remote credentials to do so.
Also, you need to run psexec -accepteula once to accept the EULA prompt.
