You can try PsExec utility from microsoft.

C:\PsTools\PsExec.exe \\remote-computer-name or IP address -u "username" -p "password" "path_to_outlook.exe_on remote_computer"

Example:

C:\temp\PsTools\PsExec.exe \\192.168.0.88 -u "Admin" -p mypass "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OUTLOOK.EXE"

The above quote C:\PsTools\PsExec.exe \\remote-computer-name or IP address -u "username" -p "password" "path_to_outlook.exe_on remote_computer"requires you to be logged in to the server first. Otherwise it would launch Outlook but new emails would not be downloaded.
