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) ","

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")

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