I wrote a program using VB 6, XP Pro and WMI. It works in my XP Pro
system but not in a Windows 2003 Server. I copied the relevant code to
a script and the script works with Windows 2003 Server. The following
is the script code that works; it is essentially identical to the VB
code that does not work. The error I am getting is Error 13 from
GetObject ("Type Mismatch"). I sure don't understand what "Type
Mismatch" is supposed to say.

Pathname =
"winmgmts:Win32_LogicalFileSecuritySetting.path='F:\Users\Sam\FileSecuritySetting.vbs'"
Set wmiFileSecSetting = GetObject(Pathname)
RetVal = wmiFileSecSetting.GetSecurityDescriptor(wmiSecurityDescriptor)
If Err <> 0 Then
WScript.Echo "GetSecurityDescriptor failed" & VBCRLF & Err.Number &
VBCRLF & Err.Description
WScript.Quit
End If
WScript.Echo wmiSecurityDescriptor.Owner.Domain & "/" &
wmiSecurityDescriptor.Owner.Name & "; " &
wmiFileSecSetting.Description

.
