Re: PolAdtEv

Sangeetha,

I did try posting a question about this on
win32.programmer.wmi a couple weeks ago, but never had
anyone respond. Thanks again for asking around.

Also, I have another question that is SMS-related.
Another value I'm trying to get is the "F" value under
HKLM\SAM\SAM\Domains\Account. (Again you may need the
same technique used to view the PolAdtEv key, as this does
not give Administrator view privilege by default.) I can
get this in the mof as a uint8 array and WMI has the
correct value. But when inventory runs, it only contains
the first 254 characters. Is there a way I can get the
entire array instead of just the first 254 characters?
For some reason, the MIF file reported to the site server
only has the first 254 characters of the value.

I also tried another key that was a string value longer
than 254 characters. Again, the inventory data loader
only gets the first 254 characters of the string.

Is this a hardcoded limit? A policy that can be
configured? Any ideas?

Paul
