ManagementScope Class
.NET Framework 2.0
Represents a scope (namespace) for management operations.
Namespace: System.Management
Assembly: System.Management (in system.management.dll)
Assembly: System.Management (in system.management.dll)
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.
Imports System Imports System.Management Public Class RemoteConnect Public Overloads Shared Function Main( _ ByVal args() As String) As Integer ' 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 ' Dim options As ConnectionOptions ' options = new ConnectionOptions() ' 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. Dim scope As ManagementScope scope = New ManagementScope( _ "\\FullComputerName\root\cimv2") scope.Connect() ' Use this code if you are connecting with a ' different user name and password: ' ' Dim scope As ManagementScope ' scope = New ManagementScope( _ ' "\\FullComputerName\root\cimv2", options) ' scope.Connect() ' Query system for Operating System information Dim query As ObjectQuery query = New ObjectQuery( _ "SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem") Dim searcher As ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = _ New ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query) Dim queryCollection As ManagementObjectCollection queryCollection = searcher.Get() Dim m As ManagementObject For Each 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")) Next Return 0 End Function End Class
