No, there is no upgrade outside of the OS upgrade...

I wonder if there is an upgrade WINCIM32 that would work on W2K?

That would make sense.  I believe that on WinXP and above only win32_printer supports put_ method.  Win2k does not...

On W2K Server (SBS) and W2K Pro
 
 SWbemObject: Provider is not capable of the attempted operation
 
on the Put_
 
I think I typo-ed the first post and said W2K3 when I meant W2K.  Haven't looked at this issue for nearly a month.
 
I wonder if there is an update to WINCIM for W2K that will allow location to be updated?

I was only using the default install no custom mof files or anything like that.  Specifically I was using Win32_Printer in the root\cimv2 namespace and wbemtest.exe as the client. 
 
If you can track down the code and post it.  I can take another look for you...

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.

I have it working on both of these OS's WinXP and Win2k3SP1. 
 
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?
