System.Management VS WbemScripting

[Guest]

Hi!

I'm trying to erase SMS_Collection Rules using VB.NET 2003...

I did that with WbemScripting, but now I need to do it with
System.Management...

My problem is that with System.Management I cannot get directly the item
without enumerating a bunch of them (as I know)...

How can I do this...

_______________________________________________________

Collection = Server.Get("SMS_Collection='" & CollectionID & "'")
_______________________________________________________

With System.Management

The only way I know is doing a For Each of what is being returned from
something like...
_______________________________________________________

Private Function GetObjects(ByVal Query As String) As
ManagementObjectCollection

Dim SMSObject As ManagementObject
Dim SMSSearcher As ManagementObjectSearcher
Dim SMSQuery As ManagementQuery

Try

SMSQuery = New WqlObjectQuery(Query)
SMSSearcher = New ManagementObjectSearcher(SMSScope, SMSQuery)

Return SMSSearcher.Get

Catch ex As Exception
Return Nothing
End Try

End Function
_______________________________________________________



So here is my code for WbemScripting...
_______________________________________________________

Private Locator As SWbemLocator
Private Server As SWbemServices
Public SMSMainSite As String

Public Function Connect(ByVal SMSServer As String) As Boolean

Try

Locator = New SWbemLocator
Server = Locator.ConnectServer(SMSServer, "root\sms")

Catch ex As Exception

Return False

End Try

Dim Sites As SWbemObjectSet
Dim Site As SWbemObject

Try

Sites = Server.ExecQuery("Select SiteCode From
SMS_ProviderLocation Where ProviderForLocalSite=True")

For Each Site In Sites
SMSMainSite = Site.SiteCode
Next

Server = Locator.ConnectServer(SMSServer, "root\sms\site_" &
SMSMainSite)

Catch ex As Exception

Return False

End Try

Return True

End Function

Public Function DeleteCollectionRules(ByVal CollectionID As String) As Boolean

Dim Collection As SWbemObject
Dim Prop As SWbemProperty
Dim Rules() As Object

Dim Method As SWbemMethod
Dim Parameters As SWbemObject
Try

Collection = Server.Get("SMS_Collection='" & CollectionID & "'")

Prop = Collection.Properties_.Item("CollectionRules")
If Not Prop.Value Is System.DBNull.Value Then Rules = Prop.Value

If Not IsNothing(Rules) Then
Method = Collection.Methods_.Item("DeleteMembershipRules")
Parameters = Method.InParameters.SpawnInstance_
Parameters.Properties_.Item("collectionRules").Value = Rules
Collection.ExecMethod_("DeleteMembershipRules", Parameters)
End If
Catch ex As Exception
Return False
End Try

Return True

End Function

Hi ShrimpBoy.

Do you want to get which of 'object' and 'collection' ?
o Get() returns 'object' itself.
o ExecQuery returns 'collection' as collection of object.
