I need to populate a database with certain info gathered from PC's across a network. There are around 100 pc's and manually recording this data will be a pain.

I need info like:
OS
Computer Name
OS CD-Key
Office CD-Key
Brand/Model
IP Address
MAC Address
CPU Type
CPU Speed
RAM
HDD Space

I know there are various tools taht will tell me this info... but I want something that I can use to gather all of this info and either export to a txt file or directly into an access database.

Is there any software already written that will do this? What about software libraries that I can use to program with and make my own. C/C++/Java/VB/asp/javascript... any of those languages would work if I could get a library that can get that info for me.

Any ideas?
