Identifying computers running given program ?



We have program "A" that is loaded from a Windows Server by user from
numerous locations remotely.
Many of the computers are left running 24/7 without terminating
program "A".
What I would like to do is write a program that could identify these
computers and then terminate the execution of program "A".
I am looking for a solution that does NOT involve having users of
program "A" sign in and recording their presence, rather would
interrogate the system in a network wide process.

Is this possible ? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
