Plus you wouldn’t need a client/server application to accomplish the task.

Take a look at the Win32 Classes available with WMI, there is a introductory article with a link to them in my blog entry here, titled “Using Windows Management Interface (WMI) to Make Your Life Easy”.

I hope I haven’t missed something, but honestly from what you’ve mentioned you can get most of this data (and more) with WMI.
