security issues regarding the "ManagementObje ctSearcher" object

Hi,

I have a question regarding the use of the ManagementObjec tSearcher object
which I plan to use in an asp.net page to retrieve a list of users on a
Win2K server.

I have some code working on my development machine but as I'm logged in
using an account that is a member of the Administrators group on my
development machine (and am using Windows authentication to access the
asp.net pages), I don't know whether it's going to work when deployed to a
production server on our intranet.

The document for the ManagementObjec tSearcher class states that 'Full trust
for the immediate caller' is required. I'm pretty sure that the asp.net
pages are running under a 'full trust' level. If so, then is this
sufficient?

Thanks,
Wayne.

I am trying to read a list of install programs using WMI with ASP.NET/C#. However, it fails with "Invalid Class". I have confirmed that if I query LOCALHOST then it works fine, but if I query a remote machine then it fails. If I enter incorrect credentials, then it fails with an access denied, so I know that I am at least connecting to the WMI provider. Here is the error:

Hello all... My application uses custom reports from Microsoft's report viewer and not Crystal Reports. My understanding is there is no way to make the printdialog select a different printer than the default via code, right? So - here's what I have my app doing to fix the issue - There's a form the user can load that performs the ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from Win32_Printer") command. It will load all the printers on the...

I'm trying to display the available space on a disk drive. This could be tricky if the user choose a drive on which they are limited to a quota. The "FreeSpace" property returns the total number of bytes on the disk, which could be significantly larger than the space actually available to the user. I found documentation referring to VB scripting, which provided an "AvailableSpace" property, in addition to the "FreeSpace" property....

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
