I have sort of looked into this way myself, by writing a little VB program that runs as a server (not exactly ideal) and then writes the information to a text or possibly XML file (I need this thing to be automated). However I feel this not only introduces another point of failure it also requires more maintenance. I wonder if there is something like net-snmp for the windows platform that a special agent could be written, then all the info could be gathered by any SNMP tool?
