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"]);
        }

Constructors

ManagementScope()	Initializes a new instance of the ManagementScope class, with default values. This is the parameterless constructor.
ManagementScope(ManagementPath, ConnectionOptions)	Initializes a new instance of the ManagementScope class representing the specified scope path, with the specified options.
ManagementScope(ManagementPath)	Initializes a new instance of the ManagementScope class representing the specified scope path.
ManagementScope(String, ConnectionOptions)	Initializes a new instance of the ManagementScope class representing the specified scope path, with the specified options.
ManagementScope(String)	Initializes a new instance of the ManagementScope class representing the specified scope path.

Properties

IsConnected	Gets a value indicating whether the ManagementScope is currently bound to a WMI server and namespace.
Options	Gets or sets options for making the WMI connection.
Path	Gets or sets the path for the ManagementScope.

Methods

Clone()	Returns a copy of the object.
Connect()	Connects this ManagementScope to the actual WMI scope.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Explicit Interface Implementations

ICloneable.Clone()

Creates a new object that is a copy of the current instance.
