Need to modify my vbscript to be able to use WMI so that a text file on a remote pc can be edited.

I have written a vbscript which my call centre team can send to a user, for them to read and edit a text file on their PC without navigation or knowledge of the actual text file stored on their local HDD.

I would prefer it if the call centre could just run the script which would read and edit the remote text file on the users' pc.

It would be ideal if the script could prompt for a computer name, and then the script would read and modify the remote text file.

Here is my code:

Dim Message,Message2,Title,strNewPrinter,strOldPrinter

Const ForReading = 1
Const ForWriting = 2

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\printers.txt", ForReading)

strText = objFile.ReadAll
WScript.Echo strtext
objFile.Close

MsgBox "This utility will enable you to modify the entries in your printers.txt file...",vbInformation

'On ERROR resume Next

      Message2 = "Enter the name of the new printer"
      Message = "Enter the name of the printer you would like to change"
      Title = "Wincor Nixdorf"

            strOldPrinter = InputBox(Message,Title,"**********", 100, 100)
            strNewPrinter = InputBox(Message2,Title,"**********", 100, 100)      

strNewText = Replace(strText, strOldPrinter, strNewPrinter)

Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\printers.txt", ForWriting)
objFile.WriteLine strNewText
WScript.Echo strtext
objFile.Close

Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\printers.txt", ForReading)

strText = objFile.ReadAll
WScript.Echo strtext
objFile.Close

Much appreciated
