I'm looking for a way to obtain information similar to the following console applications, remotely:

net use
net share
netstat -ano

However, I need to be able to do this without running a 3rd party application on the system. This effectively rules out using psexec to execute the command remotely, because psexec would then be installed as a service.

I should add that I have administrative credentials on the remote system. I've considered using WMI's remote execution ability, but that requires me to write output to a file and then retrieve it. It's possible, but I'd like to know if anyone has a better way.

I am using Delphi 2010.
