Examples

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 = "ntlmdomain:DOMAIN";
 // and replace DOMAIN with the remote computer's
 // domain. You can also use Kerberos instead
 // of ntlmdomain.
 */

 // 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"]);
