Thanks for the suggestions,

It seems JMX has no direct .NET counterpart as such. WMI is lower-level and
vastly more complex but it seems to have the most overlap feature-wise. I
haven't dug in to EIF much (and I'm avoiding unmanaged code options) but,
I'm inclined to simply keep using our homegrown JMX-alike stuff. Perhaps
also look into adding WMI adaptors.
