Here's the scenerio:

I have several (10 - 30) PCs that periodically need to get data (simple Y/N
flag values) from a server in the same network. While all PCs run SQL
Server, I don't want to use a Sql connection for this purpose. I was
thinking about having the client PCs get the data from the server's registry
via a Winform app. or a Windows service on the client PC.
I'm looking for the least involved method to do this. I've looked at using
a web service on the server or remoting, but is this overkill? Any
suggestions would be appriciated.

Thanks

Dave M.

No, this is perfect for remoting or web services.

I would probably using remoting since you can host it within a service
process.
