Running SSIS package for non-dba users

Currently I have two SQL servers that need SSIS packages run against
them to upload data from excel or access. The preferred method is to
have an end user start the process. On one server, the SSIS file
package is run by starting a SQL job, which has access to a file
server to access the excel file. The second SQL server is across
another domain and the SQL server user can not access the file server,
so I need another method.

Ideally I would like the user to initiate SSIS packages without having
to load SSIS services on their machine, which DTEXEC needs. Is there a
better way to do this?

Thanks
Dwight

Can you use a batch file somewhere that would copy the "non-accessable"
excel file to a server the second SQL server would have permissions to
access?

You could use Powershell scripts to do this, as Powershell has the ability
to authenticate in an encrypted fashion and thus may be able to copy the
file accross a domain.
