RE: Win32_NetworkConnection closes connectios in remote monitoring?

Hello Tango

I've reproduced the issue on my side that the mapped driver shows
"Unavailable" status when it's queried from a remote computer with the
Win32_NetworkConnection class. Below are my repro-steps:

1. In "computer 2", use "net use" command to create a mapped driver to
"computer 3" with credential 1 (domain username & password).
2. In "computer 2", query the local mapped drivers' status with wbemtest,
and it returns the "OK" status for the newly created mapped driver.
3. In "computer 1", use wbemtest to connect to "computer 2"
(\\computer2\root\cimv2) with credential 1 (the same as step 1), and query
Win32_NetworkConnection.Status. It returns "Unavailable" though the mapped
driver is operational in "computer 2".

This test can be reproduced in any OS versions (e.g. Windows XP, 2003,
Vista).

Based on my analysis, we cannot query the mapped driver's status because
there are 2 credentials (though the same domain username and password) in
the query path:

Computer 1 -> 1. query with Win32_NetworkConnection -> Computer 2 -> 2. map
driver with net use -> Computer 3

1. query with Win32_NetworkConnection: needs credential (domain username
and pwd)
2. map driver with net use: also needs credential (domain username and pwd)

Even if the two uses the same domain username and password, the part 2
rejects the query due to some security issues.

Please give me some time so that I can confirm the analysis with the
product team and see whether I can find out any workarounds or not. I will
get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.
