You should not specify any credentials for "local" connections, the current
users security token will be used as access token. Note that you should not
specify the local server name in the management path, your code should look
like this:
ManagementClass mc;
ms.Path = new ManagementPath("./root/CIMv2");
using(mc = new ManagementClass(ms, new ManagementPath("Win32_Share"),
null))
{
....
}

| Sorry for the repost. I must have done something wrong when I tried to
post
| my reply (I can't seem to find it).
|
| Anyway, I'd really appreciate any help that anyone could provide. My
issue
| is quickly becoming more and more urgent.
|
|
|
| I've tried the code below using the server's local Administrator user name
| and password. This gets me past the Access denied error but gives me a
User
| credentials cannot be used for local connections error.
|
| ManagementScope ms;
| ManagementClass mc;
|
| ms = new ManagementScope();
| ms.Options.Username = "username";
| ms.Options.Password = "password";
| ms.Options.Authentication = Authentication.PacketPrivacy;
| ms.Path = new ManagementPath("//server/root/CIMv2");
|
| mc = new ManagementClass(ms, new ManagementPath("Win32_Share"), null);
|
|
| Maybe another thought... Should I not use WMI to try to get a list of
| shared folders on the server? Should I use something else? If so, what?
