Re: Problems with WMI

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Ralph,

in my code I must use the following statement, i.e.:

Set WMI = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & pc & "\root\cimv2")

In order to retrieve several system information.
But how can I use your statement GetObject( "", "winmgmts") then?

Maybe I did not communicate clear enough that everythings works fine on many
systems.
But on some, the GetObject("winmgmts:") fails, so I actually think it's not
a problem with the code, but with the service.

But I couldn't find out what problem and how to solve it!

Regards
Danny

Hi guys,

ok, thanks. I am using VB6 and will look a the services.

Somehow I think it's better to use GetObject, because WMI must be already
running as you said and CreateObject won't help then I guess.

I will have a look and tell you my results regarding the stopped service.

GetObject( "", "winmgmts")
