Get remote server system information using asp.net,c#


Hi Folks,

I would like to develop one custom application using asp.net,C#,SQL server
for tracking all our company servers.
Most of the functionality is similar to HP Systems Insight Manager

(http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/s...agement/hpsim/)
I would like to store as much information as we can about server.
System engineering staff can access the information at any time.
Main functionality of my application should be as below.

1. Ability to store and retrieve full server information like
Server model#,
Server_No,
servicetag#,
ipaddress(Internal)
IPAddress(External)
, List of hardware it has,
environment it belongs,
criticality of server,
domain it belongs to ,
List of softwares it has,
List of custom applications it has,
owners of the servers (our users),
Name of the company server belongs to (within group of companies),
Physical site location,
Physical rack location,
List of physical drives server has, its space usagedetails.
List of logical drives serve has,
Information about open ports on server,
main functionality of the server etc.
2. Ability to retrieve services running on the server

3. Ability to retrieve processes running on the server

4. Ability to generate reports based on different criteria’s provided
by user

Even though we can achieve most of functionality using hp insight manager,
we would like to store some more
custom information also.

I would like to pull most of the data from server itself. my application end
user enters only custom information

we need.

we have around 300 servers around the globe.
My Questions:

1.First of all is it a good idea to develop application for this kind of
functionality.?

2.How Can I pull all the above system information from my web server by
connecting to particular server on my

network?
(consider scenarios like :some of our servers are hardened for security
purpose,
some ports are blocked
Some are UNIX servers)

3.How Can I pull all the running applications from my web server by
connecting to particular server?

4.How Can I pull all the running services from my web server by connecting
to particular server?

5.Do you know any tools which will provide the same functionality with the
customization I need.?

6.If it needs to be developed using asp.net,c#,sql server how much time it
will take approximately?
Please help me or guide me.

Any kind of help is greatly appriciated.

Thanking you
Kumar
