Hi

Thank you so much for this tutorial on using wmi with php.

Some questions:

Do you think these features could work with PHP 4.3.10 ?

How can i access remote computers to get wmi values.

For exemple, with a vbscript, i know how to connect the object winmgts, get domain values, cpu,.....

But i could not figure how to do that in php combine with your technic..

I thank you by advance to answer and hope this could help me to complete my project.

Hummm, i've tested it and i found that this does not work on windows 2000.

It seems that the WMIC command does not exists on this sytem.

I have to look to another solution..
