Session.Timeout property

Sets and gets the maximum amount of time, in milliseconds, that the client application waits for Windows Remote Management to complete its operations.

This property is read/write.

Syntax

Session.Timeout As long

Property value

Time-out value, in milliseconds. When the time-out value is exceeded, a run-time error occurs.

Remarks

The time-out value can be set before each operation performed by the agent. If a time-out value is not specified, the agent sets the time-out value.

During an enumerate operation, the time-out value cannot be reset while the resource is being enumerated.

Examples

The following VBScript code example starts a Calc.exe process using the Create method of the WMI Win32_Process class. The strInputParameters parameter contains the input parameters in XML format. The script specifies a time-out for the session.

Set objWsman = CreateObject( "WSMan.Automation" )
If objWsman is Nothing Then
    WScript.Echo "Failed to create WSMAN Automation object"
    WScript.Quit
End If 

Set objSession = objWsman.CreateSession
If objSession is Nothing Then
    WScript.Echo "Failed to create WSMAN Session object"
    WScript.Quit
End If 

strResource = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/" & _
    "wmi/root/cimv2/Win32_Process"

'Reset timeout to 10,000 milliseconds
objSession.Timeout = 10000     

strInputParameters = "<p:Create_INPUT " & _
    "xmlns:p=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/cimv2/Win32_Process"">" & _
    "<p:CommandLine>" & "calc.exe" & _
    "</p:CommandLine>" & _
    "</p:Create_INPUT>"

strOutputParameters = objSession.Invoke( "Create", _
    strResource, strInputParameters )

DisplayOutput( strOutputParameters )

'****************************************************
' Displays WinRM XML message using built-in XSL
'****************************************************
Sub DisplayOutput( strWinRMXml )
    Dim xmlFile, xslFile
    Set xmlFile = CreateObject( "MSXml2.DOMDocument.3.0" ) 
    Set xslFile = CreateObject( "MSXml2.DOMDocument.3.0" )
    xmlFile.LoadXml( strWinRMXml )
    xslFile.Load( "WsmTxt.xsl" )
    Wscript.Echo xmlFile.TransformNode( xslFile ) 
End Sub
