Reading the registry for
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\S
 OFTWARE\Microsoft\Mi
crosoft SQL Server on each machine?

Maybe there is a more effecient way. It's probably better to ask this
in a newsgroup about Windows administraton.

Hi,

sure use the WMI provider to query the information for your software
inventoring. There is an example of the appropiate namespace
"root/cimv2"
on http://www.serverwatch.com/tutorial...cle.php/1476661 . Therefore
enumerating to all known clients / ip adresses you should get the
needed information.
