If the error had been to do with my having used a wrong class/object, then I wouldn't be getting a permission denied error. Running it on another PC would give results because I wrote this script last year and it was working, until I reinstalled Windows on my PC. So I am sure the code is OK.
In case VBS is a problem, here is the same code in JScript:ListCOM( "." );
function ListCOM( computer )
{
var wmistr = "winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\\\";
wmistr += computer + "\\root\\cimv2";
var objWMIService = GetObject( wmistr );
var query = "SELECT * FROM Win32_ClassicCOMClassSetting where Cation like 'Datac%'";
var ClassCollection = objWMIService.ExecQuery( query );
var ecom = new Enumerator( ClassCollection );
for( ; !ecom.atEnd(); ecom.moveNext() )
{
var icom = ecom.item();
print( "Name : " + icom.Caption );
print( "Path : " + icom.InprocServer32 + "\n" );
}
}
function print( msg )
{
WScript.Echo( msg );
}
This time, I don't get an error message, but I don't get results either.

@RAd Yes, it is
@aki, The problem is not with the syntax, but smething to do with permissions. The code is OK because scriptomatic-generated scripts [google scriptomatic] aren't generating any output. Besides, Win32_.... is a collection of objects from which I want to select the ones that begin with 'Datac'. Once I get a list of those objects, then I get attributes of each of those objects such as Name.. etc. Does that make sense?
@Simon, I checked sdk and still cannot find the object you are looking for. What class/object is ' datac ' under? WMI query has 494 classes. :-)
Further to this, an example that I was working on last year : to enable auto DHCP ( execute WMI )- Class = Win_32NetworkAdapterConfiguration ( has 41 methods and each method has parameters you can assign )- Method = "EnableDHCP"- Instance = index of NIC cards/DUN/PPP, thus code the correct index number.usual for-each loop.....foreach(<variable> in <object>){//statement}Result : When code script was run, it would enable DHCP.Corrections welcome..._______________________________________________
