Unfortunately, all the pieces of MSAgent have to be installed on the target workstation for this stuff to work !

With Automation, it's not just as simple as running an executable off a server. Objects have to be registered, registry pointers initialized and such. To my knowledge, there is no COM equivalent to "running a remote executable on the workstation".

There is something called "Distributed COM (DCOM)", but even if you did configure MSAgent like this, the object would still actually "run" on the server, not on the workstation. And assuming that MSAgent would require intimate knowledge of your workstation desktop and other (TTS) drivers, I doubt that it would work.
