We have network path
rem_dir = '\\192.168.150.20\test\x.bat'

Can I do something like
os.startfile(rem_dir)

This will execute the batch file on my side, can I execute it on the remote host ?
What should be used?

Machines on Windows in the local network, the remote user is an administrator.
Help with valuable advice.
Thanks

You need a program running on a remote host that will execute code on request from the network.
Either terminal servers like SSH (for Linux systems are included, you need to install it under Windows), or a remote desktop like VNC, or your own application that you run on the host and that will listen to requests from the network.
