Using .NET Remoting to Run Programs on Remote Servers

[IT4EVR]

I am developing a program which would poll domain controllers that are dispersed throughout the US to derive event log information. For performance reasons, I need to be able to be able to run the application directly on that server. These servers have to be polled once an hour and then the data is exported to a centralized database.

There are many ways to go about this, but it makes sense to me that .NET remoting would be the way to go. Has anyone had experience with this sort of application and could they point me in the right direction? Would I be able to run the application directly on that server as if I am on that server even though I am in another location? I know this type of application could open up a can of worms as far as security goes.

WebServices maybe?

MOM, NetIQ, Questra, etc. already do this. Why spend your time/money rewriting the wheel?

For one, canned software products NEVER provide all the capabilities that a customized home-grown application would.

And if I as a programmer cannot create something like this myself, then I'm in the wrong business.
