WMI Windows Management Instrumentation

(WMI) is a scalable system management infrastructure that uses a single, consistent, standards-based, extensible, object-oriented interface.

WMI Provides a way to interact with system

management information

WMI 1. Connect to WMI object 2. Run a query against it

Query is structured similar to SQL “Select * from …”

SWBEM Instead of WMI “moniker string”

"{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\"

Use domain credentials objswbemlocator.connectserver(strcomputer,

"root\cimv2", "nm.xyz\" & strusername, strpassword)

Code In following slides www.personal.kent.edu/~tsirgo

Credentialsdo until strusername <> ""

strusername = inputbox("Enter user name", "username")if isempty(strusername) then

wscript.quitend if

loopdo until strpassword <> ""

strpassword = inputbox("Enter password - WARNING: THE PASSWORD WILL NOT BE HIDDEN", "password")if isempty(strpassword) then

wscript.quitend if
