Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets

Applies To: System Center Configuration Manager 2007, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2

The following code samples show how to set up the calling code for the code examples that are used throughout the System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Software Development Kit (SDK).

Replace the SNIPPETMETHOD snippet with the snippet that you want to run. In most cases you will need to make changes, such as adding parameters, to make the code work.

Note

The ScriptPW COM automation object is not available in Windows Vista. If you do not want to pass your password in clear text, an alternative is to use a HTML application. For more information, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=110367.

For more information about remote Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) connections, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=94683.
