Question about WMI connection and concurrent use

Hi All,

[Even I posted this two days ago via "managed newsgroups" {I am universal
msdn abonnement and pay for support}, I could not get an answer or any
notifications. This is my second attempt. If my question is not to understand
- bear with me for my english - but I could give additional
information/explanations. On the other hand, I cannot image, that this is
really unclear and not to understand/to explain by the experts].

I'll use one wmi connection by several concurrently running threads to one
server. I've already made a lot of outgoing calls from different threads,
but that's another scenario.
Only my management server is allowed to connect network devices via snmp. So
I'll use this server as a proxy to ask network devices. In this case, my
local workstation will open a wmi connection to the system management server
and advise it to contact box x1, box x2, and so on [useing additional
WBemObjectSet objects]. How many threads can this handle, or do I need
multiple connections?? Are the calls internally serialized or handled by
multiple threads?

I made already a similar thing, using this management servers WMI Ping
Provider, and found this extremly slow, but could not find the reason.

I could not find anaything in the SDK, wether scripting nor COM API. I am
using the .Net Framework to build my tool.

Any help would be really very welcomed!

Best regards,
Manfred Braun
