yes Willy it is.
it is just that using System.Manageme nt does not collect all the field of WMI.
i was just hoping to use FrameWork over WMI.
i do have another problem. i figured how to get to the remote machine and
start the data collection but it runs then stops when reading the "DNS"
service and the error in VS C# 2005 does not tell me what the problem is. it
is very generic message stating "Get general help for this exception" when i
do a ManagementObjec t.wm.Get();
public string[] getXprServices( bool oRunning)
{
///once all the service is collected return the full array to
display to monitor.
///the way to get the detail i want requires that i call both
the framework
///and the wmi.
//for debug only!!
string strmachine = "server2";
ConnectionOptio ns options = new ConnectionOptio ns();
options.Usernam e = "usera";

xprServices = ServiceControll er.GetServices( strmachine);

is there no way via framework to see the "startname" property of the service?
do i still have to call the "WMI"?
System.Manageme nt is part of the framework isn't it?
if so do i have to use:
System.Manageme nt.ManagementSc ope < to the remote machine\\root\\ cimv2
System.Manageme ntObject wmiService;
wmiService = new ManagementObjec t("Win32_Servic e.Name='" +
sServices.Servi ceName + "'");
in order to get the "startname" ?
i'm trying to get the details from both local and remote machines services.
You can get all properties you are interested in by using a WQL query like so:
string serviceName = "Spooler";
SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery("se lect StartName, Status from Win32_Service where
Name ='" + serviceName + "'");
using(Managemen tObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjec tSearcher(query ))
{
foreach (ManagementObje ct mo in searcher.Get()) {
Console.WriteLi ne("{0} - {1} ", mo["StartName"], mo["Status"]);
}
}
Sure, to connect to a remote system, you'll need to specify a ManagementScope and
appropriate ConnectionOptio ns. Also, you need to take care of when connecting to a remote
machine is that you specify a user account with appropriate rights to query the WMI
namespace.
Willy.
