There is only very limited WMI support for getting to SMART data.
Luckily, smartctl from smartmontools which you probably know best from Linux distributions, exists as a Windows port. Running it either as a part of a machine startup script, through some kind of inventory solution or on demand via RPC (e.g. with PsExec) and capturing / saving the output should get you there.
You can use something like SpeedFan to grab the data from individual machines. I don't know of anything that can grab it globally though.
