From your description, you could communicate with target machines Message Queues using WCF:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms789008.aspx[^]

http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/msmqpluswcf[^]

and react to the messages on the target machine with a service of your own, which can then start, stop, modify config etc.
