Update:
I have done a lot more on this and have the following.
Using WMI from VBScript has the same problem.
There is a thread in this newsgroup dated 22 Jan 2003 subject:
Re: Bug??? 2.1 GB CIM_DataFile FileSize limit
which discusses the issue also. It looks like there may be
a 2G (2^31 -1) limit, over which we get a failure in the
case of a Windows 2000 WMI server.
Another message that I found on the internet (from a microsoft
employee?) said that the variable was an unsigned 64 bit
value and so should support > 16 Giga Giga bytes. No, that is
not a stutter:) I have unfortunately lost the reference
for now.
I can not find anything on the MS website on it though.
So the only question now seems to be _Is there a fix
for Windows Server 2000?_
I have found it hard to get some code working (I am not a real
programmer) so here it is in case it helps someone else.
It was hard to find an example of CIM_DataFile with ConnectServer.
#########################################
Set StdOut = WScript.StdOut
strComputer = "xxx-server1"
strUser = "administrator@xxx.local"
' The domain\user form does not seem to recognise the domain
' It allows ANYTHING to be entered.
' The .local is optional.
strPassword = "zzzzzzzz"
strDomain = ""
' If this parameter is not NULL we get the error.
' SWbemLocator: Invalid parameter
set wmiLocator = CreateObject ("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
set wmiService = wmiLocator.ConnectServer _
(strComputer, "root\cimv2", _
strUser , strPassword, "", strDomain, 0, null )
Set objFile = wmiservice.ExecQuery _
("Select * From CIM_DataFile Where Name = 'c:\\boot.ini'")
For Each Thing in objFile
Wscript.Echo "Name: " & Thing.Name
Wscript.Echo "Size: " & Thing.Filesize
Next
#########################################
One last (less important) question in the event that anyone
reads this far down;)
In the code below there is an assignment to refFile.
Is there an equivalent construct for the ConnectServer
technique used above?
Set refFile = GetObject("winMgmts:CIM_DataFile.Name='c:\boot.ini'")
Wscript.echo "File name is: " & refFile.Name
Wscript.echo "File size is: " & refFile.FileSize & " bytes"
