1) Use Remote Desktop or VNC (http://www.realvnc.com/) to access the build computer desktop and initiate builds.
2) Use a VisBuildPro Project action (http://www.visualbuild.com/Manual/vbpremotetab.htm) (if VBP is installed on the local computer) or psExec (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx) (if VBP isn't installed) to invoke the console app (http://www.visualbuild.com/Manual/consoleapp.htm) on the remote computer.
3) Configure a scheduled task (http://www.visualbuild.com/Manual/scheduleautomatic.htm) to periodically perform builds on the server. The scheduled task can also be run on an ad hoc basis via SCHTASKS at a Command Prompt:
schtasks /run /s "computer name" /tn "task name /u "user name" /p "password"
4) Setup a web front-end to the build server and allow users to launch builds from that. This is demonstrated by the WebLauncher ASP.NET sample (http://www.visualbuild.com/Manual/weblaunchersample.htm).
5) Use continuous integration (http://www.visualbuild.com/Manual/continteg.htm) (the build machine continually polls and initiates builds when changes are checked into source control).
