ManagementScope Class
.NET Framework 4
Represents a scope (namespace) for management operations.
Namespace:
System.Management
Assembly: System.Management (in System.Management.dll)
The ManagementScope type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ManagementScope() | Initializes a new instance of the ManagementScope class, with default values. This is the default constructor. |
![]() | ManagementScope(ManagementPath) | Initializes a new instance of the ManagementScope class representing the specified scope path. |
![]() | ManagementScope(String) | Initializes a new instance of the ManagementScope class representing the specified scope path. |
![]() | ManagementScope(ManagementPath, ConnectionOptions) | Initializes a new instance of the ManagementScope class representing the specified scope path, with the specified options. |
![]() | ManagementScope(String, ConnectionOptions) | Initializes a new instance of the ManagementScope class representing the specified scope path, with the specified options. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | IsConnected | Gets a value indicating whether the ManagementScope is currently bound to a WMI server and namespace. |
![]() | Options | Gets or sets options for making the WMI connection. |
![]() | Path | Gets or sets the path for the ManagementScope. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Clone | Returns a copy of the object. |
![]() | Connect | Connects this ManagementScope to the actual WMI scope. |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
The following example initializes a new ManagementScope with a specific path and then connects the scope object to a WMI namespace. The example connects to a namespace on a remote computer.
using System; using System.Management; public class RemoteConnect { public static void Main() { /*// Build an options object for the remote connection // if you plan to connect to the remote // computer with a different user name // and password than the one you are currently using ConnectionOptions options = new ConnectionOptions(); // and then set the options.Username and // options.Password properties to the correct values // and also set // options.Authority = "ntdlmdomain:DOMAIN"; // and replace DOMAIN with the remote computer's // domain. You can also use kerberose instead // of ntdlmdomain. */ // Make a connection to a remote computer. // Replace the "FullComputerName" section of the // string "\\\\FullComputerName\\root\\cimv2" with // the full computer name or IP address of the // remote computer. ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope( "\\\\FullComputerName\\root\\cimv2"); scope.Connect(); // Use this code if you are connecting with a // different user name and password: // // ManagementScope scope = // new ManagementScope( // "\\\\FullComputerName\\root\\cimv2", options); // scope.Connect(); //Query system for Operating System information ObjectQuery query = new ObjectQuery( "SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem"); ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope,query); ManagementObjectCollection queryCollection = searcher.Get(); foreach ( ManagementObject m in queryCollection) { // Display the remote computer information Console.WriteLine("Computer Name : {0}", m["csname"]); Console.WriteLine("Windows Directory : {0}", m["WindowsDirectory"]); Console.WriteLine("Operating System: {0}", m["Caption"]); Console.WriteLine("Version: {0}", m["Version"]); Console.WriteLine("Manufacturer : {0}", m["Manufacturer"]); } } }
