2. Comparison VB.Net GUI Visual Studio VBScript Plain Text Use text editor (e.g. Notepad)

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

4. WMI Provides a way to interact with system management information

5. WMI 1. Connect to WMI object 2. Run a query against it Query is structured similar to SQL “Select * from …”

6. SWBEM Instead of WMI “moniker string” "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" Use domain credentials objswbemlocator.connectserver(strcomputer, "root\cimv2", "nm.xyz\" & strusername, strpassword)

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

8. Credentials do until strusername <> "" strusername = inputbox("Enter user name", "username") if isempty(strusername) then wscript.quit end if loop do until strpassword <> "" strpassword = inputbox("Enter password - WARNING: THE PASSWORD WILL NOT BE HIDDEN", "password") if isempty(strpassword) then wscript.quit end if loop
