Let me give you these links instead :)

When you need to automate some one-time template pushing or even 
relatively simple recurring config change, especially if it does not 
rely on the current device state, you can just simply push a bunch of 
commands though ssh. All you need is to configure rsa-keys to avoid 
password auth. This approach works for any ssh CLI :)

Like this:
> user at plunin:~$
> user at plunin:~$ cat ./set-descr.txt
> conf
> set interface ge-0/0/19 descr "blah 1"
> commit
> q
> user at plunin:~$ cat ./del-descr.txt

Don't ask me, how to do this under Windows, I don't know :)

Sometimes it's preferable to generate a piece of JUNOS text config (with 
curly brackets, like in the show command output) or in a form of normal 
JUNOS patch (like in the 'show | compare' command output), than copy it 
as a file to the device using scp and issue (remotely with ssh as shown 
above) something like "load merge <filename>" or "load patch <terminal>".
