For this kind of thing on Win32, WMI is very useful.
Check out:

In theory, something equivalent should be available for Linux:
WMI is based on the DMTF / WBEM industry standard. However
as it stands this module is completely windows-centric,
relying as it does on Microsoft's implementation of the
standard and the pywin32 libraries.
Not to say someone couldn't merge it with some equivalent
Linux implementation if there were one and someone had the time...
