Re: Beginner to WMI and need some guidance.

Well, you answer part of my question on restrictions, in that it cannot
read a text file or the like. What other limitations are there?
"Regarding the "restrictions", it depends if you mean malicious
restrictions"
No, any restrictions like my response above. What can I not do with
WMI?

Hi,

WMI is excellent for Auditing, especially if you use ADSI too, but you
can not "read" the contents of a file using WMI.

Regarding the "restrictions", it depends if you mean malicious
restrictions - if they want to make it break, it WILL break. Most
networks want it working, otherwise how can they manage their networks?
