Sub ListAllDashboards(connection)

' Build a query to get all dashboards. 
allDashboardQuery = "SELECT * FROM SMS_ReportDashboard"
    
' Run query to get a collection of all the dashboards.
Set allDashboards = connection.ExecQuery(allDashboardQuery, , wbemFlagForwardOnly Or wbemFlagReturnImmediately)

' Loop through collection of all dashboards to get the individual dashboard properties.
For Each dashboard in allDashboards

    ' Output individual dashboard property details.
    wscript.echo "Dashboard Name:    "   & dashboard.Name
    wscript.echo "Dashboard ID:      "   & dashboard.DashboardID

{
    try
    {
        // Get a collection of all SMS_ReportDashboard instances.
        IResultObject allDashboards = connection.QueryProcessor.ExecuteQuery("select * from SMS_ReportDashboard");

        // 
        foreach (IResultObject dashboard in allDashboards)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Dashboard Name:    " + dashboard["Name"].StringValue);
            Console.WriteLine("Dashboard ID:      " + dashboard["DashboardID"].IntegerValue);
