EvtWmiInstanceExecuteMethod OutBufferSize problem
- From: hammerli22 <hammerli22@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hello,
I wrote a driver which supports a WMI ExecuteMethod. I wrote a Vbscript
program
to test the method but the OutBufferSize in the EvtWmiInstanceExecuteMethod
is aways 5 which is not big enough for the return data. The method takes
inputs and returns parameters including and array of data.
Why is the OutBufferSize always 5 ? Is there away to tell the Swbemobject
what size I
want the Output buffer to be ? Usually the input buffer is the output buffer
from the
EvtWmiInstanceExecuteMethod point of view but I don't know how SWBemojbect
come up with a OutBuffersSize of 5. What am I doing wrong ?
vbscript and mof below
thanks in advance
