I myself use it to report the file dates of certain security patches and AV-updates from the ws-version to the server-version, and the server version compares them to it's own file dates, and if they differ I get a nice popup in my server console.)

(You can ofcourse give as much information as you want from the ws-side to the server-side. This is you put some effort into this, you might want to do what I did for a very application-specific system that I have on my network and saves me a whole lot of time (so my exact tool is no use to you but it was nice practise in scripting TCP comm and network-related scripting): create a monitoring system with a server-side version and workstation-side version, where the ws-side acts as a TCP-server on a specific port, and the server-side connects to all workstations in a certain IP-range on that port when you run it, and reads out certain information that is presented by the workstation-version.

My 2ct.: doesn't seem like there's a predefined way in AutoIt to ask for logged-on user on a remote machine, but there is a macro for finding out who is logged on locally.
