Set previlege with Windows Management

[David Shen]

Hi,

Here is text copy/paste from the WMI SDK reference

Use the Win32_Operating System class and the Win32Shutdown method. You must
include the RemoteShutdown privilege when connecting to WMI. For more
information, see Executing Privileged Operations. Unlike the Shutdown method
on Win32_Operating System, the Win32Shutdown method allows you to set flags to
control the shutdown behavior.
strComputer = "atl-dc-01"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winm gmts:" _
& "{impersonation Level=impersona te,(Shutdown)}! \\" & _
strComputer & "\root\cimv 2")
Set colOperatingSys tems = objWMIService.E xecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Operating System")
For Each objOperatingSys tem in colOperatingSys tems
ObjOperatingSys tem.Shutdown(1)
Next
My question is what is the equivalent of
"{impersonation Level=impersona te,(Shutdown)}! \\" in .NET/C#. Is setting
EnablePrivilege = true good enough?

Thanks.

Yes, setting EnablePrivilege to "true" should 'enable' all privileges
required to execute a specific WMI class methods.
Note that the principal must have been granted the required privilege (see
local security policies).

Note however that this fails when run on .NET v1.1 SP1.

Willy.
PS.Please post System.Manageme nt (WMI) related questions to
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.framew ork.wmi.

Hi Willy,

Thanks for the reply.

You mentioned "Note however that this fails when run on .NET v1.1 SP1."

So what is the "suggested" approach that works both now and with .NET v1.1
SP1?

Or is the SP1 considered a new version that will be installed side-by-side
with v1.1 so the current codes will continue to run with v1.1?

David,

SP1 is a service pack for .NET v1.1 not a new version of 1.1, so it wont run
side-by-side.
Search the microsoft.publi c.dotnet.framew ork.wmi for a bypass I posted for
this issue
