That class won't give you that information. Try this:

 Code:
For each $Element in $Branch
   $objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" + $Element + "\root\cimv2")
   $colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem",,48)
   For each $objItem in $colItems
     "PC Name: " + $objItem.Name ?
     "UserName: " + $objItem.UserName ?
     ?
   Next
Next

Re: help! looping a wmi kix? wt??

This works but when I put in a pcname that is not the machine I am running
this on, I get an error something ')' is not correct? blah blah
I want to run this on a one machine and I want to have arrays
like
$Branch = "pc1", "pc2", "pc3"

how can I get to work in the below code??????
runnning it locally it works fine but I want to run remmote PCnames thru
an array?
 Quote:


I Guess the question to ask is "Can I run remote pcnames through this code in a for each next loop to access the remote pcname and local user name?
or does this work only for local pcnames? If I use the local pc name it works, but if I put in a pcname that is not the local machine name, it erros out? what am I doing wrong /???anyone thanks

For each $objItem in $colItems

"UserName: " + $objItem.UserName ?

Not sure why it's not working for you. The following:

 Code:
$Branch = @WKSTA,"PC1","PC2"

For each $Element in $Branch
   $objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" + $Element + "\root\cimv2")
   $colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem",,48)
   For each $objItem in $colItems
     "PC Name: " + $objItem.Name ?
     "UserName: " + $objItem.UserName ?
     ?
   Next
Next


gives me the following output:

 Code:
PC Name: ERIQJ
UserName: DOMAIN\eriqj

PC Name: PC1
UserName: DOMAIN\amandak

PC Name: PC2
UserName: DOMAIN\juanc

Re: help! looping a wmi kix? wt??

You should not need to run it from your DC. In fact, you should not run anything from your DC, for the sake of network security.

When you run admin scripts, you need to invoke them with admin rights. I've defined an environment variable called SUID on my workstation that contains the account name for my admin-privelege account. (ie SUID=SuperGlenn). Then, I have a little batch file called SUW.BAT that contains the following code:
 Code:
RunAs /profile /user:%SUID% cmd.exe
Opening a command prompt and typing SUW prompts me for my admin password. Once entered, it opens a new command prompt window with network admin rights, from where I can run any of my admin scripts.

You can choose whether you want to use kix32 or wkix32 in the kix2exe gui (look under "KiXtart Processor"). Just make sure that the wkix32 executable is in the \bin\kix path wherever you have kix2exe.
