Adam,

Good call...but just a word of warning if you still
have NT systems (we do!)...you'll have to install WMI
classes on NT systems for this to work.

However, the functionality available through Perl (you
can also access WMI through Perl) is more
cross-platform, in that the API calls support NT, 2K,
AND XP.
