Thanks. Nice to know I did something right at least *once* in a while... :)
So...What's the "CORE" package for? It has to do something, seeing as it's 10 times larger than the
one I installed...

WMI 1.5 is needed for remote WMI queries usually made in various scripting
and programming languages to acquire system data. In this case it is
probably being used to call the Win32_LogicalDisk class to retrieve free and
total drive space on the server(s) in question.
If you have NT boxes, then I suggest installing WMI on each one - W2k and
above already have this component built in.
The 5.6 version is of WSH (Windows Scripting Host) which is just an updated
package for the Windows Scripting language. Not always needed in order to
get a job done, but I highly recommend it. Some methods and properties may
not work properly if you don't have it (especially if you have a script that
you downloaded from somewhere - i.e. you didn't write it yourself).
You can install either in any order, you shouldn't see any problems either
way.
Good luck!
