Remarks
Different providers may choose to expose different properties of a computer object. For more information, see ADSI System Providers.
You can discover what properties are supported by inspecting the mandatory and optional properties through its schema class. For more information, see the IADsClass interface.
To examine the status of a computer or to perform the shutdown operation across the network, you must use the IADsComputerOperations interface.
Examples
The following Visual Basic code example examines computer properties supported by the ADSI WinNT provider.
Dim obj As IADs On Error Resume Next Set obj = GetObject("WinNT://myMachine,computer") If (obj.Class = "Computer") Then MsgBox "Computer owner: " & obj.owner MsgBox "Computer division: " & obj.Division MsgBox "Computer operatingSystem: " & obj.OperatingSystem MsgBox "Computer operating System Version: " & obj.OperatingSystemVersion MsgBox "Computer processor: " & obj.Processor MsgBox "Computer processor Count: " & obj.ProcessorCount End If
The following C++ code example examines computer properties supported by the ADSI WinNT provider.
IADsComputer *pComp = NULL; LPWSTR adspath = L"WinNT://jeffsmith1,computer"; HRESULT hr = S_OK; BSTR bstr = NULL; hr = ADsGetObject(adspath,IID_IADsComputer,(void**)&pComp); if(FAILED(hr)) {goto Cleanup;} hr = pComp->get_Owner(&bstr); if(FAILED(hr)) {goto Cleanup;} printf("Computer owner: %S\n",bstr); SysFreeString(bstr); hr = pComp->get_OperatingSystem(&bstr); if(FAILED(hr)) {goto Cleanup;} printf("Operating System: %S\n",bstr); SysFreeString(bstr); Cleanup: if(pComp) pComp->Release(); if(bstr) SysFreeString(bstr); return hr;
