It might.  You would first need to research a bit and find out if the
information can be gotten through WMI.  It seems like it might, but I
don't really know.

Or if it can be gotten through some other COM object.

In the ooRexx distribution there are a number of example programs that
show how to use WMI though the oleObject class.

Then, in addition if you google "WMI scripting" you can find a lot of
example scripts using WMI.  Not in Rexx of course, but it is usually
pretty easy to translate the script to something using the oleObject,
using the example programs shipped with the distribution to get you
started.

There are a number of people in RexxLA that could help with this.  I
was hoping that, if I got people starting using the ooRexx User list,
we could get some more robust discussions between users going on.

Rick and I know well how the oleObject class is implemented, but I at
least have very little knowledge of it's practical use in a Rexx
program.  Some users though have a lot of experience there.
