PowerShell : WMI Support in RC2 : Privileges and connection settings (Series part 3)



  For some actions in WMI you need to enable privileges , for example for the SetDateTime method of win32_operatingsystem,

and how you can use the GUI again to edit settings, and change Classes , and also see posible values of properties also with the searcher you can do the same as we did see in (" PowerShell : WMI Support in RC2 (Series part 2) "," PowerShell : WMI Support in RC2 (Series part 1) ","

[WmiSearcher]$roq | opg

as I did get a question by G/\/\E  on the second part of this series, I did this quick post about this *Remark* I did not see the blog item he did make about this, about this when I started this

to see about that strange timeformat see second example, More information about calling methods in next post

PoSH>$win32_Operatingsystem = gwmi win32_Operatingsystem
PoSH>$win32_Operatingsystem.SetDateTime("20061010234615.000000+120")
Exception calling "SetDateTime" : "Access denied "
At line:1 char:35
+ $win32_Operatingsystem.SetDateTime( <<<< "20061010234615.000000+120")
PoSH>
$win32_Operatingsystem.psbase.Scope

IsConnected Options Path
----------- ------- ----
True System.Management.ConnectionOptions \\localhost\root\cimv2

PoSH>$win32_Operatingsystem.psbase.Scope.options

Locale :
Username :
Password :
Authority :
Impersonation : Impersonate
Authentication : Unchanged
EnablePrivileges : False
Context : {}
Timeout : 10675199.02:48:05.4775807

 

 

PoSH>$win32_Operatingsystem.psbase.Scope.options.EnablePrivileges = $true
PoSH>$win32_Operatingsystem.SetDateTime("20061010234615.000000+120")

__GENUS : 2
__CLASS : __PARAMETERS
__SUPERCLASS :
__DYNASTY : __PARAMETERS
__RELPATH :
__PROPERTY_COUNT : 1
__DERIVATION : {}
__SERVER :
__NAMESPACE :
__PATH :
ReturnValue : 0

Here you can see that you can also use the out-PropertyGrid to Edit and test those Settings as I showed in former posts about queries (Change properties and query will be automatically changed), *Note* you need to change to WmiClass eg to win32_share and back Note the changing of paths in the GUI, to reconnect and enable the privileges, note that you have a complete WMI browsel like this,

also I show the use of a added utility property added to a WMI class in RC2  to get a WMI dateTime, a bit more about methods in next post

PoSH>$win32_Operatingsystem = gwmi win32_Operatingsystem

PoSH>$win32_Operatingsystem.ConvertfromDateTime("10/10/2006 23:26:15")
20061010232615.000000+120

 

PoSH>$win32_Operatingsystem.SetDateTime("20061010232615.000000+120")
Exception calling "SetDateTime" : "Access denied "
At line:1 char:35
+ $win32_Operatingsystem.SetDateTime( <<<< "20061010232615.000000+120")

PoSH>$win32_Operatingsystem | opg
Cancel

PoSH>$win32_Operatingsystem | opg
Cancel

 



PoSH>$win32_Operatingsystem.SetDateTime("20061010232615.000000+120")

__GENUS : 2
__CLASS : __PARAMETERS
__SUPERCLASS :
__DYNASTY : __PARAMETERS
__RELPATH :
__PROPERTY_COUNT : 1
__DERIVATION : {}
__SERVER :
__NAMESPACE :
__PATH :
ReturnValue : 0

Enjoy,

Thanks for all the work you do. I've been working using PS and WMI for network managment at work whenever I can, but I've hit a block trying to get to the MicrosoftIISV2 namespace. There is an authentication level that you have to set to secure the communication in order to access this namespace on a remote computer. I found an example of how to do this in VB, but don't know it well enough to translate to PS.
