WMI, SAM, ADSI call or something else? Semantics Question.

Question

This is a semantics question. I am trying to figure out what I am
calling when I run this script. Is it a WMI call, SAM call, ADSI call
or something else? All my previous WMI calls were constructed like

Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts://" & SystemName)
....
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM Win32_SystemEnclosure"
Set objQRY = objWMI.ExecQuery(strSQL,,48)

But this is how I am getting the information.

Set objQRY = GetObject("WinNT://" & SystemName)
objQRY.Filter = Array("Group")
....
Set i = GetObject(objWMI.AdsPath & ",Group")

Thanks
