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


Ignore me. That syntax is merely another way to insure grabbing an existing
instance that supports that "class". I got hung up on performing Automation
from VB - which isn't relevant to your problem. My apologies.
