You would need to install a Windows Service on each machine, that acts as a
.NET remoting server and has appropriate permissions to obtain the machine
info you want. You would then call this from a remoting client across the
network. Ideally you would encrypt the data returned by the service, and
probably have the server require some sort of password as well. And keep
the source to the clients and servers, and technical documentation of their
APIs, under lock and key with as few people on a "need to know" basis as
possible, as you would be in effect creating a "back door" to sensitive info
on all these machines. Also you would want to consider obfuscating the
assemblies involved.
