Timeout for GetObject (winmgmts)

[sunny001]

I try to connect to a remote Computer to get the CurrentUser. Ping is ok. No error occurs, but the script halts while executing this statement:

Set oSys = GetObject("winmgmts:" & _
"{impersonationLevel=impersonate}" & _
"!//" & machine & _
"/root/cimv2:Win32_ComputerSystem=""" & _
machine & """&quot

It seems that the WMI Service at the remote computer doesn't respond (I can't even stop this service).

Is it possible to set a reasonable timeout!?

Hello sunny001,

Would indeed be nice to have it. For the moment, only winxp has the implementation of a flag wbemConnectFlagUseMaxWait:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...-us/wmisdk/wmi/swbemlocator_connectserver.asp

running through the code like:

Set objLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
Set objService = objLocator.ConnectServer(strServer, strNameSpace,,,,, wbemConnectFlagUseMaxWait)

WMI is evolving strong. Very uncertain in many areas if loosening the grip a minute, not many have sufficient time and working environment to catch up.
