Display information about another computer

[Moocow]

I was just wondering how hard it would be to create a piece of software which runs on someones PC, and then on another computer, a differant piece of software gets told information about the computer, and displays it. So i would have a program, i'd select the computer name, and information about the selected computer, such as Computer name would be shown. Also, maybe a feature to send a command to the PC such as run calculator.exe. I'd only want it basic like that. Also, i had no idea where to post this, theres SO MANY FORUMS

Look into WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation), you don't need to install application to other machines, but you need network and account access to the remotes.
If this is interesting check WMI Code Creator 1.0
