Starting ND6 on Win2k server?

From the iSeries (using SBMNWSCMD), what is the best way to start ND6 on a Win2k server?
I've only seen this done using a DNS setup to ID the Windows server to the iSeries. If you can do it another way, I'm not aware of it. I've run most remote batch commands using the DOS command shell. Here's a Java string from 1 file that fired off my SQL database. I haven't done ND6 that way but it should work.
"CMD.EXE /C " +  
 "mysql --user root --password     menagerie  < msc02_pet2.sql > output.tab";
