DMO Registered Servers...

I am iterating through DMO's registered servers and I want to detect whether a particular server is running ie the service has started...bearing in mind that some of these are on remote machines.... How can I do this through DMO or do I have to use the API? Below is what I have so far...

VB Code:

Dim oSQLApp As New SQLDMO.Application
 
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
 
Dim oServer As New SQLDMO.RegisteredServer
Dim oServerGroup As New SQLDMO.ServerGroup
Dim oServerSubGroup As New SQLDMO.ServerGroup
Dim oDatabase As New SQLDMO.Database
 
    For Each oServerGroup In oSQLApp.ServerGroups
        With tvwMain
            .Nodes.Add , , oServerGroup.Name, oServerGroup.Name
            For Each oServer In oServerGroup.RegisteredServers
                .Nodes.Add oServerGroup.Name, tvwChild, oServerGroup.Name & "\" & oServer.Name, oServer.Name
            Next
        End With
        
    Next
    
End Sub
 
 
Private Sub tvwMain_NodeClick(ByVal Node As MSComctlLib.Node)
 
Dim oSQLServer As New SQLDMO.SQLServer
Dim oDatabase As New SQLDMO.Database
Dim oTable As New SQLDMO.Table
    
    If Node.Parent Is Nothing Then
        Exit Sub
    End If
    
    If Node.Parent = "SQL Server Group" Then
        oSQLServer.Connect Node.Text, "poo", "plop"
    Else
        Exit Sub
    End If
    
    For Each oDatabase In oSQLServer.Databases
        With tvwMain
            .Nodes.Add Node.Key, tvwChild, Node.Key & "\" & oDatabase.Name, oDatabase.Name
            For Each oTable In oDatabase.Tables
                .Nodes.Add Node.Key & "\" & oDatabase.Name, tvwChild, Node.Key & "\" & oDatabase.Name & "\" & oTable.Name, oTable.Name
            Next
        End With
    Next
    
End Sub
