If all of that is possible, however, the system administrator should be
sacked immediately.  If the system administrator lets users instantiate
Windows Script Host using a CreateObject("WScript.Shell") call (you
missed out the quotes, btw  :)  then (s)he deserves to have the whole
system trashed.

Chances are you won't be able to do anything without installing software
on the system, as anyone who set up the system in such a way to allow
the suggested code to work should not be administering servers.
