Hi i have a question....is it possible to use WMI to say for example enumerate the drives on a remote computer?
The function would be of the format
code:
Function getInfo($driveName)
I am using Kix 4.02 using a windows network that is a combination of 9x/nt/2000/xp pro
I do not have domain admin access but the person who I am writing it for will.
I have tried
code:
$drives = GetObject("WinMgmts://$compName").ExecQuery("select Name, size from Win32_LogicalDisk")
but this seems to only work if the $compName is set to the local computer even though on msdn here it says this should get the "default namespace on the computer myServer"
You cannot remotely query Windows 9x computers unless you correectly configure a couple of components manually that will ultimately allow remote admin access to Windows 9x computers

thanx I will have to let him test it with his admin rights and see if it works or use your function either way i will post some feedback later in the day/week
thanx for all of the replies...I checked with the Admin but he told me he only needs it for the Nt/2000 servers so i won't have to do any installs on win9x thankfully
