This has to be obtained from a remote machine. The following query works not for SIDs, but for group and account names. "SELECT GroupComponent FROM Win32_GroupUser WHERE PartComponent = \"Win32_UserAccount.Domain='" + accountDomain + "',Name='" + accountName + "'\"" The Win32_Group objects it returns come in the forms of strings, and they only have domain and name (even though Win32_Group has a SID property). I have this sinking feeling I'll have to: Turn the SID into an account name by querying Win32_SID; Perform the query above; Turn each of the resulting group names into SIDs by querying

I'm trying to do something like: Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration ` -Filter "DefaultIPGateway!=NULL" But I have an error: Get-WmiObject : Invalid query At line:1 char:14 + Get-WmiObject <<<< Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -Filter "DefaultIPGateway!=NULL" + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Get-WmiObject], ManagementException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : GetWMIManagementException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetWmiObjectCommand It's strange, because when I try to get type of DefaultIPGateway values. It's System.Array for the existent values: PS> $result[0].DefaultIPGateway

WQL (basically SQL for WMI) does not support a TOP or LIMIT keyword. Sql Server used TOP and many other RDBMSs supprt LIMIT etc. Is there a workaround to emulating a SELECT query to behave as though it had a TOP/LIMIT clause that limits the result set to some arbitrary number? Or is there some other WQL-specific keyword that works like TOP or LIMIT? Justin Grant Nope, there's no way to simulate TOP using WQL alone. Exception: if you're lucky enough to be querying a WMI class which has ungapped, ascending numeric instance numbers used as keys, then you can use greater-than and less-then

I want to get the serial number of the boot-harddisk via a WQL query. The boot-partition can be retrieved using the following query: SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskPartition where BootPartition=True The serial number is in Win32_DiskDrive: SELECT DeviceID, SerialNumber FROM Win32_DiskDrive Win32_DiskDriveToDiskPartition has the mapping of Win32_DiskDrive to Win32_DiskPartition . They are mapped Win32_DiskDrive.DeviceID to Win32_DiskPartition.DeviceID in Win32_DiskDriveToDiskPartition How can I build a WQL query that inner joins Win32_DiskPartition and Win32_DiskDrive ? Do I have to use Associators or

I know how to get total physical memory from win32_computersystem class. but that comes in bytes or kb. I want this information in MB or GB. in wmi (wql) query. wmic also work. thanks in advance. You must convert the value of the property manually. Also is better use Win32_PhysicalMemory WMI class. Try this sample using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Management; using System.Text; namespace GetWMI_Info { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { try { ManagementScope Scope; Scope = new ManagementScope(String.Format("\\\\{0}\\root\\CIMV2", "."), null); Scope
