[Pkg-zenoss-team] Fwd: Regarding WMI-Client

[Chandar.V.Rao]

Thanks for the reply.

As of now i use it only for getting the data.
for eg: ./wmic -U "login%password" ipaddress "select * from win32_XXX"

 Will i be able to start and stop the services using wmic client
What is the difference between wmic client and winexe.Because i can see
winexe also can be used for executing windows related commands

Will i be able to Uninstall any softwares like how i can do it through VB
script



strComputer = "."

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _

    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _

    & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colSoftware = objWMIService.ExecQuery _

    ("Select * from Win32_Product " _

        & "Where Name = 'Personnel database'")

For Each objSoftware in colSoftware

    objSoftware.Uninstall()
Next

Can you help me on this?
