How do I run the following WMI query, both programmatically to and as a one-shot deal? Can I use Visual Studio 2008, and if so what language and type of project do I setup? I'm a complete beginner at this so please provide details. Thanks! SELECT * FROM Win32_USBControllerDevice For Each as USBDevice ASSOCIATORS OF {Win32_PnPEntity.D...

So the WQL LIKE operator isn't supported on my WMI class from this question. How do I tell ahead of time, or interactively as I write, what is/is not supported? I'd like to stick with Powershell here and avoid other solutions like wmic. ...
Recently I have been learning about WMI and WQL. I found out the list of Win32 classes (from MSDN) that I can query for but I am not able to find out the list of event classes (should be the subset of the list of Win32 classes isn't it ?) Does any one have a list or some kind of cheat sheet for this? I am jsut asking this out of curiosit...
I've inherited code that makes numerous remote WMI calls. When I repeatedly pause execution and look at the call-stack it's almost always in a ManagementScope.Connect() call. A new connection seems to be made with each WQL query. Despite limited trial and error, I haven't found any big wins yet in improving the performance of the WMI ...
I am trying create a simple WQL query where I only return mounted drives on a server. These are drives that do not have a drive letter associated with them. I tried the following sytnax and it does not return a result set: SELECT * FROM Win32_Volume WHERE DriveLetter = "" Here is the complete code sample in C#: string ManagementPat...
I have a WMI query that specifies time in this format '20090219000000.000000+480' Can someone tell me what format this is, and does .NET have any built-in functionality to work with it? EDIT This time value is from a sample query that I found. I don't know what time value was used to generate it. I just need to be able to convert a ti...
Hi, I have to list all users (both local system and domain). I tried using WQL but it takes a lot of time for the program to run. Is there any other way to get it from registry? Any help would be appreciated. ...
WQL (basically SQL for WMI) does not support the TOP keyword the way Sql Server and many other RDBMSs do (though the actual keyword is different sometimes but the concept is implemented.) Is there a workaround to emulating a SELECT query to behave as though it had a TOP clause that limited the result set? Or is there some other WQL-sp...
I have written a device driver for a device but each time I connect the device in windows XP 32 bit, "found new hardware" wizard appears. I am signing the driver using a Comodo code signing certificate and not using the cross certificate chain to link to microsoft root authority. Nor is the driver wql certified. So my question is to di...
Hello, I'm using ManagementEventWatcher to watch the disconnection of network cable using System.Management.

I'm using a System.Management.ManagementEventWatcher to get the process ID and executable path for a started process: private void startWatcher_EventArrived(Object sender, EventArrivedEventArgs e) { String processID = e.NewEvent.Properties["ProcessID"].Value.ToString(); var searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(new WqlObjectQ...
I need to make a query like this: SELECT PNPDeviceID FROM Win32_NetworkAdapter WHERE AdapterTypeId = 0 Trouble is, the AdapterTypeId column isn't always present.

So, I WMI query a remote machine to get the members of its Administrators group: SELECT PartComponent FROM Win32_GroupUser WHERE GroupComponent = "Win32_Group.Domain='MACHINE_NAME',Name='Administrators'" It returns the PartComponent property as strings.

This has to be obtained from a remote machine. The following query works not for SIDs, but for group and account names. "SELECT GroupComponent FROM Win32_GroupUser WHERE PartComponent = \"Win32_UserAccount.Domain='" + accountDomain + "',Name='" + accountName + "'\"" The Win32_Group objects it returns come in the forms of strings, and ...
When querying for large ammount of data through WMI (say the windows events log Win32_NTLogEvent) it is very useful to know what kind of numbers you are getting yourself into before downloading all the content. Is there a way two do this? From what i know there is no "Select Count(*) FROM Win32_NTLogEvent" in WQL. From what i know the ...
I am writing a C# windows service that is doing some churning through the eventlog on a few domain controllers. Some of them are Windows Server 2003 and some are Windows Server 2008. Upon the service stopping I am attempting to resume where I left off in the logs. In order to do this instead of SELECT * FROM Win32_NTLogEvent WHERE --cr...
