Investigate ssh as vbe suggested. ssh can not only create connections between machines (analogous to telnet) but also execute commands on other machines, like rsh/rexec. You will have to find out if Windoze is able to originate commands like his (i have no idea), but if it is this would be a viable way to do it.
The procedure would be:
1. set up ssh on Windows and AIX servers
2. create an ssh-key on the AIX machine and put that into the authorized_keys file on the Windows machine you want to execute commands on. On AIX the file would be ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in the home-directory of the user under whose id the command should be executed. What the analogous file on the Windows-machine is you will have to find out yourself.
3. Try to originate a command on the AIX machine:
ssh user@windows-machine "dir"
If everything works as planned you should get a directory listing from the Windows-server.
I hope this helps.

ssh-keysign
SSH-KEYSIGN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SSH-KEYSIGN(8)
NAME
ssh-keysign -- ssh helper program for host-based authentication
SYNOPSIS
ssh-keysign
DESCRIPTION
ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during host-based authentication with
SSH protocol version 2.
ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting
EnableSSHKeysign to ``yes''.
ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh(1). See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about host-based authen-
tication.
FILES
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled.
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature. They should be owned by root, read-
able only by root, and not accessible to others. Since they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if host-
based authentication is used.
SEE ALSO
ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1), ssh_config(5), sshd(8)
HISTORY
ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2.
