wmi wont run as SYSTEM?

Getting the hang of it

hello,
I use the following code
in our logon to gather info.
works GREAT!
I also use norton system center to push out jobs
with same code,
when it runs the job, it runs as user "system"
But the script bombs out.
I am not sure if the impersonate thing is what
is problem is.
any help would be appreciated.
if this is off topic I apologize.
thanks
Adam

code:

  BREAK ON 

 $Manufacturer 		= WMIQuery("Manufacturer","Win32_ComputerSystem")
 $SystemModel 		= WMIQuery("Model","Win32_ComputerSystem")
 $SystemSerialNumber 	= WMIQuery("SerialNumber","Win32_BIOS")
 $CPUManufacturer 	= WMIQuery("manufacturer","Win32_Processor")
 $SystemMemory   	= val(WMIQuery("TotalPhysicalMemory","Win32_LogicalMemoryConfiguration"))/1024
 
 FUNCTION WMIQuery($what,$where,)
        DIM $strquery, $objenumerator, $value
       $strquery = "Select $what From $where"
       $systemset = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!//@WKSTA")
       $objenumerator = $systemset.execquery($strquery)
        FOR EACH $objinstance IN $objenumerator
              IF @error = 0 AND $objinstance <> ""
                   $=execute("$$value = $$objInstance.$what")
                   $wmiquery="$value"+"|"+"$WMIQuery"
              ENDIF
        NEXT
       $wmiquery=left($wmiquery,len($wmiquery)-1)
        EXIT @error
 ENDFUNCTION

return

It's better to run administrative scripts under an administrative account. [ 28.

rollo rollo Getting the hang of it Registered: 2000-07-11 Posts: 85 Loc: louisiana	I got it working with user system I changed the line. from this code: $systemset = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!//@WKSTA") to this code: $systemset = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.") I also dimmed the vars this all seemed to fix it [ 03. March 2003, 15:34: Message edited by: rollo ]
