WbemAuthenticationLevelEnum enumeration (wbemdisp.h)

  • Article

The WbemAuthenticationLevelEnum constants define the security authentication levels. These constants are used with SWbemSecurity and in moniker connections to WMI.

The WMI scripting type library, wbemdisp.tlb, defines these constants. Visual Basic applications can access this library.

Script languages must use one of the following:

  • The short name. For example, for WbemAuthenticationLevelPktPrivacy use "PktPrivacy". 
    
strComputer = "RemoteComputer"
Set objWMIServices = GetObject("WINMGMTS:" _
    & "{authenticationLevel=pktPrivacy}!\\" _
    & strComputer & "\ROOT\CIMV2")
  • Windows Script Host (WSH) XML file format in the script. For example, this means that the script can use the WbemAuthenticationLevelPkt constant directly.

    The following WSH script sets the authentication level. To run the script, save the text in a file with a .wsf extension.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
<job>
<reference object="WbemScripting.SWbemLocator"/>
<script language="VBScript">
    set service = GetObject("winmgmts:")
    ' Following line uses a symbolic 
    ' constant from the WMI type library
    service.Security_.authenticationLevel = _
        WbemAuthenticationLevelPktPrivacy
</script>
</job>

    For more information, see Using the WMI Scripting Type Library.
