There is only very limited WMI support for getting to SMART data.
Luckily, smartctl from smartmontools which you probably know best from Linux distributions, exists as a Windows port. Running it either as a part of a machine startup script, through some kind of inventory solution or on demand via RPC (e.g. with PsExec) and capturing / saving the output should get you there.

if you need a gui for it for some reason, take a look at [gsmartctl](http://gsmartcontrol.berlios.de/home/index.php/en/Home) – Journeyman Geek Dec 11 '11 at 00:06

You can use something like SpeedFan to grab the data from individual machines. I don't know of anything that can grab it globally though.
