The topic of IP sockets in KiX is not new. There was a discussion of the 'socketwrench' COM component a while back, and Howard Bullock did start working on his own COM object (HABobjects.dll I believe).
Unless you somehow tie into Micrsoft's authentication and crypto APIs, passing info over the network is vulnerable to being sniffed. There is already, the PSExec utility that will let you execute a command remotely but it passes a clear-text password. So far the most secure method has been to use JT.EXE to schedule a task remotely since it uses Microsoft APIs.
I am not a programmer but is there not some potential with MSMQ?
