    Hi All,

    I'm trying to write some vbscript to assign permissions to the WMI
    namespace. As I don't possess a comprehensive knowledge of the in's and
    out's of using the security based structures (__SystemSecurity,
    SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR etc) I have fallen back to trying to finding some kind
    of utility that will do all the hard work for me.

    Have found one 3rd party util at http://www.bprevalent.com/products/pdacls/.
    But before thinking about purchasing this tool I thought I would see if
    anyone knows of a M$ or other free tool that can modify the Discretionary
    Access Control List (DACL) on Windows Management Instrumentation namespaces.

    Thanks !
