Question

I'm creating an ASP.net (C#) website and I need to achieve some interesting tasks like accessing a remote machine, creating a user account and creating and sharing a folder.

Sounds like Powershell might be the solution given the range of tasks that you're looking to achieve

and in essence you'll be referencing the System.Management.Automation assembly, creating a powershell object, and executing dynamic scripts through it.
