Below code worked as charm for me.

var cmd = require('node-cmd');
cmd.get('WMIC /node:"ABC-XXXXXXX" process call create "C:\\Setup\\app7.exe"',function(err, data, stderr){
    console.log('err:', err)
    console.log('stderr:', stderr)
})

Remote machine name : ABC-XXXXXXX

Path of exe on remote machine: C:\Setup\app7.exe

You could do this via commands and a child process via spawn. See ▶NodeJs API Docs

On Windows

const { spawn } = require('child_process');
const bat = spawn('cmd.exe', ['/c', 'my.bat']);

bat.stdout.on('data', (data) => {
  console.log(data.toString());
});

bat.stderr.on('data', (data) => {
  console.log(data.toString());
});

bat.on('exit', (code) => {
  console.log(`Child exited with code ${code}`);
});

Linux

const { spawn } = require('child_process');
const ls = spawn('ls', ['-lh', '/usr']);

ls.stdout.on('data', (data) => {
  console.log(`stdout: ${data}`);
});

ls.stderr.on('data', (data) => {
  console.log(`stderr: ${data}`);
});

ls.on('close', (code) => {
  console.log(`child process exited with code ${code}`);
});
