WMI & Perfmon?

Easy or Hard?

Friday, March 18, 2005 by Chuckwrox | Discussion: DesktopX

Hi, I'm exploring DX3 and want to get performance and status information from several servers on my LAN. Samurize uses WMI & Perfmon plugins to make this awfully easy. I can't even find WMI addressed in the standard documentation, though. Is there a way to grab this information without having to write a script from scratch?

Thx!

search Microsoft.com for Scriptomatic. This tool will give you the names of the WMI objects and the values you can extract. Then import the WMI Memory Object in the DX3 library and cut-n-paste the For loop from the Scriptomatic interface into the For loop in the 123 timer in the WMI Memory object's script.

Wicked.

hm.. I don't have it... Odd. I've got the latest DX3 from SD.

Anyways, that Scriptomatic from MS was wicked. Really help you to see what info you can get from WMI. I found so much stuff that I can use in my projects. Thank you very much!

Has anyone figured out how to obtain drive infos from more than hardrives (like removable and network) without the floppy being accessed all the time ?
