id like to be able to do it through autoit - if possible. (ive already this whole arsenal of tools built into one tool - would like to keep it within autoit

Yes, it can be done. You need to look into WMI objects. You can query remote systems directly and return all sorts of info.

Here is an example. (none of this code will work standalone, I just want to point you in the right direction.)

Func get_compsystem()
    $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $comp_name & "\root\CIMV2")
    $colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem", "WQL", $wbemFlagReturnImmediately + $wbemFlagForwardOnly)
    For $objItem In $colItems
        $bios_brand = $objItem.Manufacturer
        $bios_model = $objItem.Model
        $totalmem = Round($objItem.TotalPhysicalMemory / 1024 / 1024,0) & ' MB'
        $logged_on_user = $objItem.UserName; logged on user. if no user this will be blank.
    Next
EndFunc

For uptime however look into

colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem", "WQL", $wbemFlagReturnImmediately + $wbemFlagForwardOnly)

Your interested in

$lbt = $objItem.LastBootUpTime

$ldt = $objItem.LocalDateTime

to get the last boot and local time of the remote system. Use

_DateDiff

to get the difference in seconds and then calculate it out to get your answer in days,hours,min,seconds.

Look for a script called "scriptomatic". Its an amazing piece of work that shows examples of how to use WMI in autoit while showing the results from querying your own machine.

Hopefully this points you in the right direction. When I discovered WMI objects I suddenly had a means to get amost any info I needed from network machines. Check them out. Scriptomatic helped me alot in figuring out how to interact with them.

I had to do this in a project I did.

With some help from ChrisL at work, I used this.

#include <Date.au3>

$aTSB = DllCall ("kernel32.dll", "long", "GetTickCount")
$ticksSinceBoot = $aTSB[0]


dim $iHours, $iMins, $iSecs
_TicksToTime ( $ticksSinceBoot, $iHours, $iMins, $iSecs )

$iDays = int($iHours / 24)
$iHours = $iHours - ($iDays * 24)

$uptime = ($iDays& " days, "&$iHours &" hours, "&$iMins & " Minutes, and "&$iSecs& " Seconds" )


msgbox(0,"Computer Uptime",$uptime)

Hope it helps.
