For running commands quickly on remote machines, nothing beats SSH. It is quick and easy to open terminal and fire off the command. Rich has a post outlining how to execute a command on a remote machine without the need for an interactive SSH session. This makes running commands even faster if you need to get some information back quickly from a machine or kick off a management agent.
