Can you try running it in another PC? The code looks OK to me. Don't have access to a windows box currently On Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 7:50 AM, Simon Mbuthia <simon.mbuthia@gmail.com>wrote:
@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?

Hi guys,
Any VBS/WMI gurus out there? I'm trying to run a script that'll return a list of all COM objects beginning with the word "datac". So my script looks as below:
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
Set ClassCollection = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_ClassicCOMClassSetting where Description like 'Datac%'")
For Each item In ClassCollection WScript.Echo item.Name WScript.Echo item.Description Next
@Simon, thnks for the question as it helps understand WMI better. I covered WMI early last year ( with C sharp ) and I can see that the problem is with the Query string : Win32_ClassicCOMClassSetting does not have a property 'Datac%'. Class Win32_ClassicCOMClassSetting has 26 proproerties such as AppID, Control etc but not what you used.
I could be wrong, pls check your select query. :-)
