WMI Script to sense PNP DVD install then install a program

[osceolakid]

Newbie to WMI but feel someone possibly has done something similar to this. Anyone know of anything?

Thanks!

Check out the Microsoft tool "Scriptomatic" at

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...familyid=9ef05cbd-c1c5-41e7-9da8-212c414a7ab0

Run the .hta and use the Win32_PnPEntity and/or Win32_CDROMDrive query.

It should give you some insight

Hello RobSchultz and osceolakid,

I doubt win32_pnpentity and/or win32_cdromdrive can expose dvd drive. I may be wrong. Nevertheless win32_physicalmedia does implement mediatype property detecting dvd. But it is only implemented under winXP. Hence, if osceolakid has the winXP as working platform, it would be doing fine with wmi.

bDVD=false
set wmisvc=getobject("winmgmts:root\cimv2")
set cPMedia=wmisvc.execquery("select * from win32_physicalMedia")
for each oPMedia in cPMedia
    if (oPMedia.MediaType>=22) and (oPMedia.MediaType<=26) then
        bDVD=true : exit for
    end if
next
if bDVD then wscript.echo &quot;You have pnp dvd installed.&quot;
set cPMedia=nothing
