Find product keys in use remotely?

I'd like to find the product keys our servers are using remotely without having to install software on each server and without accessing each server with remote desktop. Is this possible?

Hi,
I have used Advanced Remote Info. It will use WMI to pull the server information. It also provides a wealth of other data. Highly recommended tool.

Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like it could do the job, but it keeps locking up when doing the advanced scan. I might have to play around with it some more.

I still open to other suggestions too.

It turns out the firewall is blocking the connection and that is why the program is hanging. I'll see about getting an opening and trying a batch run to get all my servers.

The best program I have found is: http://www.ocsinventory-ng.org/. I know you asked for it not be installed; however, you can run a startup script via Active Directory and install the application remotely. It is a great tool and it dumps everything in to a mysql db.

Hope this help!?

That is a cool program, but more involved than I can handle right now. Thanks for the suggestion.
