HI Torgeir,
I've one more question.
I want to get all the inventory in the lab which has around 50 servers.
what I'm doin' now is that I pass in the local administrators username
and the password as shown below.

Set objWMIService = objLocator.ConnectServer ( strComputer,
"root/cimv2", strUser, strPassword )

but the problem is that so many people have access to these servers and
people change the local administrators password frequently. Is there
any way that i can connect to these servers as a domain administrator
so that i don't have to worry about the local administrators password.
hope my question makes sense to u !

Thanks,
vishnu.
