Hi Scott
 
On W2K3, 3 systems checked, I  get an "unsupported" on the "Put_".  If you need I will track down the code.  I don't have it at my fingertips just now.
 
What MOF and WINCIM32 are you running on W2K3.  Perhaps that is the issue?
 
I have not tested on SP1 as of this date.

Can you describe in more detail the problem you are having on Win2k3?

Does anyone know why WMI can set Win32_Printer.location on XP and not on Windows Server 2003?
