what's available in WMIexactly how and am trying to. Can someone help me? Public Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form #Region " Windows Form Designer generated code " Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim t As Single Dim WMIService, Computer As Object WMIService = GetObject("Winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Debug,Shutdown)}") For Each Computer In WMIService.InstancesOf("Win32_OperatingSystem") t = Computer.Win32Shutdown(8 + 4, 0) If t <> 0 Then MsgBox("Error") End If Next End Sub #1 GetObject requires a file name or a class. As winmgmts is not a file on my computer I assume it is a class. How can I view it? I understand the impersonationlevel but not the debug, shutdown. #2 when it says for each computer in WMIService.InstancesOf ("Win32_OperatingSystem") what other things can I get to instead of win32_operating sytem? Where or how can I find out my other options?

What else exists? How can I find out? Since that is VB script it doesn't address the {impersonationlevel=impersonate, (debug, shutdown)}. It doesn't even address Win32_OperatingSystem. But it does tell me Win32_Service, Win32_Process, Win32_LogicalMemoryConfiguration and Win32_NTLogEvent exist. I have to figure there are more. How can I find out what they are and what they do? I ran those examples and if they tell me I'm too dumb to understand. I also looked at WMI Scripting Primer: parts 2 and 3 and still no help.

tool that comes with windows to find out what info you can get from cimv2 (all the win32 classes are listed there). So I would also do some reading on wbemtest. If you want I can send you and example app that uses wmi to get all sort of pc info which I made a couple of months ago you can mail me @ pproost at the google mail name (gmail.com) -- Show quoteHide quoteProgramming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

Connection? Credentials? Locale? Then Enum Classes or instances or namespaces? Classes I guess. Superclass name????? Whew! Method Invocation Options????? I gave up to look for something that made more sense to me. I found Scriptomatic today on a Microsoft web site but it seems to show only settings and not methods. I've been looking at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/wmi_reference.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/operating_system_classes.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/win32_operatingsystem.asp for an hour or two now and while I find microsoft sites very confusing I'm making headway. I can't seem to find the organization between the pages and the pane on the left never seems to follow along as I click links. But the stuff I'm looking for is in here somewhere. I have to bookmark anything that looks interesting or I might not be able to find it again.

they explained it--well at least they didn't enough for me. Yea, the scriptomatic tool is pretty good. I think I'm ok for now. I appreciate the help Mike and Peter.

Why don't you than not accept Peters offer to sent the program he made. I think that most of us made such a kind of program. The one of my is to old and probably to clumsy to make the same offer as Peter. Remember for WMI that is is just a bunch of collections holding collections which can hold collections again. If something does not exist can be because the hard or software is just not giving the information that is needed because it does not exist. Let say by instance a mainboard serial number.
