Hi,

Just wondering if anyone could tell me how to make WMI changes using kix. I found the object I need to manipulate (I think) and figure it should be root\wmi\MSNdis_LinkSpeed but dont know quite how to manipulate this.

As always, any help much appreciated.

Cheers,

Malek

most WMI is read only... You'll have better luck writing to the registry

Thanks, but the problem is, even though all our hardware uses the same card (or revisions/adaptations of), the registry location for this card setting is not predictable enough to be used in a script.
This article is apprantly vbscript for doing this via WMI. http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?q=wmi+nic+speed&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=eI5Oh8%24XDHA.1744%40TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl&rnum=1
I was hoping that this was genuine and that there would be a simple way to do this in kix.

Thanks anyway,
malek

Yes, you can use WMI for this. Search the BBS for WMI scripts and/or translate the VBS file to KiXtart.
