You can use the WMEncoderAgent interface to create WMEncoderApp objects on remote computers, and retrieve the running WMEncoder objects.

The WMEncoderAgent interface enumerates running instances of WMEncoder objects and for each one, puts a unique string name into an internal table. The WMEncoderAgent interface retrieves the table and enumerates the running WMEncoder objects, passing the string names to the IWMEncoderNamesCollection object.
