tzeen, you can do what you want, your major issue is going to be security. By default ASP.Net processes don't have the right to access/modify any of the info you listed so you'll have to either work with impersonation or run the process under a different user. To get the info you want you should check out WMI. I think everything you are looking for can be accessed and modified through WMI.
BTW, this doesn't have anything to do with whether Windows is open source or not.
