No that is impossible, you will need to install a program that you make which will detect your comunication and then transfer the resquest (ie to accesss to reg) on to thjat computer, and so YOU need to make bespoke software to do this task and you will need to insert the file onto their computer and also add a string in the registry so that tha app is ran on startup.
But if all the computers have access to the internet on the network then you could make a install program, insert it on the machine and to check a txt file uploaded on the net i.e. www.geocities.com/whatever/whatever.txt and if it says 1 instead of 0 to download the program from another text files contents (which is the url for the download) and then auotmaticallyy ruin the program on completion. This would mean that you only need to make one program which will run in thje back fround aand will detect and install any application yo want to over all the compluters with the file on.
