Imports System.Management

Module Module1

Sub Main()
Dim strComputerName As String = "ADMIN"
Dim objManScope As
System.Management.ManagementScope
Dim objQuery As System.Management.ObjectQuery
Dim objSearcher As ManagementObjectSearcher
Dim colQueryCollection As
ManagementObjectCollection
Dim outParams As ManagementBaseObject
Dim colInstanses As Collection
Dim objInstance As ManagementObject
Dim strWQLQuery As String
Dim intResult As Integer
Dim objArray() As String = {""}

Dim co As New ConnectionOptions
co.Username = "ADMIN\Administrator"
co.Password = "localpass"

strWQLQuery = "select * from
Win32_OperatingSystem " & _
"where Primary = ""True"""

objManScope = New
System.management.ManagementScope("\\" & _
strComputerName & "\root\cimv2", co)
objQuery = New System.Management.ObjectQuery
(strWQLQuery)
objSearcher = New ManagementObjectSearcher
