Require script or a method to Run .exe files on target computers using task scheduler or any other Windows server intigrated tool

Question

Hi All,
We are outsourcing services to our clients. One of our clients whom we manage the whole Active directory / Exchange 2010 infrastructure have a requirement.
We would like to run a .exe file from one server to another server / servers remotely to generate a report. The challenge is that we do not have permissions on some servers to access so we cannot login manually and run the .exe file to generate that report.
(All are in the same domain restricted or non restricted)
The domain Administrator (Client) Has restricted us to login to those servers due to security reasons. And is not providing us permissions or not giving the username and password to login to those servers.
Requirement is :
To run a .exe file with some parameters in it on the restricted servers Via powershell script or task scheduler (As the task will be created by the domain admin in the server in which we have access by entering the domain account).
As we have to run this .exe file on around 60 servers (restricted) so an option should popup asking the name of the agent in which you want to RUN the .exe file or a source input via CSV will also be fine.
Can anyone tell me or can this be possible ? Is there any one who has made such a script.
Can anyone please help.

Hi Justin,
Thank you for the suggestion.
Below is the script what i Executed.
"C:\Windows\system32\PsExec.exe" @C:\HPS\Serverrlist.txt cmd /C "server name\C$\hps\hps.EXE"
Pause
I tried using PSExec. But in the LAB domain as well as in the production i tried this on servers in which i have full access. When i execute this i get the output as Access is denied. Below is the screenshot of the Error.
I have installed Psexec on both machines.
I have full admin rights to the shared folder or network location which i have scratched in the screenshot. Not sure why i am getting this error.
Also analysed the event logs and found a failure event once i execute this script.
