Re: Hardware Inventory Problem

Win32_CDROMDRIVE is a "normal" Win32 class:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/win32_cdromdrive.asp

WBEMTEST should be on your system--it's part the WMI installation -
%windir%\system32\wbem\wbemtest.exe

Just click on the start button|click run|type in wbemtest and hit OK.

Click connect|enter root\cimv2 for the namepace|OK|Enum Classes recursively
and scroll down until you see Win32_CDROMDRIVE. Double click the class name
and hit instances button to see your CDROMDRIVE info.

Do all your systems have CDROM drives? If not, ignore the error lol
