OperatingSystem Class for Remote Computer,...

[Kerem Gümrükcü]

Hi,

is it possible to get the Information that comes from OperatingSystem Class
from a Remote Comupter. Is there a remote information supporting
OperatingSystem
Class or can i get this information another way, e.g. from opening remote
registry?
The target Systems are strictly Windows.


Thanks in Advance,...

I think you usuallu use WMI for getting that kind of information remotely.
Have you considered Win32_OperatingSystem?

Hi urkec,

no, i wont use WMI, i just want to stay at Registry Information.
I solved this by writing that class, but i dont know how this will
work on vista, because i tested it only on 2000 up to XP. It works
fine, but i dont know how vista will provide the registry information:

//CODE

public class OperatingSystemEx {

private string machineName;

private Version version;

private PlatformID platformId;

public OperatingSystemEx(string TargetMachine){

this.machineName = TargetMachine;

try

{

this.platformId = PlatformID.Win32NT;

try

{

string VersionString = (string)
RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine,
TargetMachine).OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion",
false).GetValue("CurrentVersion", "0.0");

if (VersionString != "0.0")

{

int Major = Convert.ToInt32(VersionString.Substring(0, 1));

int Minor = Convert.ToInt32(VersionString.Substring(2, 1));

this.version = new Version(Major, Minor);

}

}

catch (Exception)

{

this.version = new Version(Environment.OSVersion.VersionString);

}

}

catch (Exception)

{

this.platformId = PlatformID.Win32NT;

this.version = new Version(Environment.OSVersion.VersionString);

}

}


public System.Version Version{

get{ return this.version; }

}

public System.PlatformID Platform {

get { return this.platformId; }

}

}


//END CODE

WMI is sometimes really slow, so i wont work with it. This solution is
good, but i dont know whether it works on vista. Can you check it, if
you have vista running please and tell me what wont work if it does not,..

Sorry, still on Windows XP here.

You are right of course, WMI can get very slow, especially when trying to
connect to a remote machine that is not available, I always use some kind of
ping before attempting connection.

Why do you not want to use WMI?
