I'm attempting to write a plugin to test for the presence of a specific application on a client's machine. Problem is I won't have admin access to any of them. I'm wondering if it's possible to do ANY ONE of the following tasks without having admin rights to a client machine: 1) Check for the presence of a service and if possible whether it is active or not OR 2) Check for the presence of a specific file on the client system OR 3) Check for the presence of an active connection on the client machine using a dynamic source address to a another specific server on a specific static destination port. For example, using netstat -a (in windows), this is the type of connection I would need to detect: Proto Local Address Foreign Address State TCP <localmahine>:<dyn source port> <specific server>:<static dest port> CLOSE_WAIT Thanks!
