Re: Easy inventory of server

Hi Chris it worked doing as you suggested but the result of the dump was quit
different from xp and vista. It only retturend around half of the software
the is listed in add remove program list. mostly it's spesialized software
that isn't returned although they are listed under add remove programs..

Chris you where correct this didn't work.
Why dosen't it work with windows 2003 when it works fine with xp and vista.


I ran the script on one of our 2003 machines here and it didn't work
either. It took a bit of digging, but I have found the reason (I think!).

The Win32_Product class that the script uses is not available by default
on Server 2003.

You can install it by following the steps towards the bottom of this page:

Please note that I haven't tested this. I'm pretty sure that this will
resolve the problem though.

No it didn't help. I receive the same result when logged on as a regular

In a similar vein, it might be the security settings. Try:

Set objWMIService =
GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,SystemProfile}!\\" &
strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

That might not work though... it could be any of the security settings
on this page that is required (I just guessed at the SystemProfile one):

Does it help to change this line:

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

To this:

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate,authenticationLevel=Pkt}!\\" _
& strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

I've heard that authenticationLevel can be required on W2k3.
