I understand.
I think you still should at least have some centralized registry of
those machines. This could be some server app where they all register 
themselves when they are up and running. Then your admin client could
either contact them directly (with the help of the registry), or instead,
have the centralized server app apply the changes to these machines. 
If the server app has this capability then you could also do delayed 
configurations for machines that are offline, that is, the server app 
applies your changes once those machines re-connect to the network.
