I think I may have mis-understood. Workstation tags use the Windows API on the local machine in the tag to collect data about that machine. VTScada has to be running on the machine to make the connection to the local API. VTScada does not connect to these across the network. I woiuld have to confirm with development, but I don't believe the API's that reveal this information are available across the network.
If VTScada and the application are running on multiple servers, then VTScada collects the data and transfers it to the other workstations. If the VTScada application on the workstation defined in the tag is stopped, or the other servers can't connect to it, the information from the API on that workstation is no longer RPC's to the other workstations.
VTScada will not collect data from any computer that is not running VTScada and the same app. Barring of course that the computer reveals that information via SNMP. Then, an SNMP driver could be set up and the appropriate status tags could link to that without using
