How to Handle Configuration Manager Synchronous Errors by Using WMI
You handle synchronous errors, in Configuration Manager, by inspecting the SWbemLastError object when an error occurs. An error has occurred when the error object Number property is non-zero.
Note
In VBScript you should declare that you want to resume running the script if an error occurs. Otherwise, the script will end when an error condition occurs. To do this, use the On Error Resume Next declaration in your script.
Example
The following VBScript example displays the most recent error information that is available from the SWbemLastError object. You can use the following code, which tries to get an invalid SMS_Package package to test it.
For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.
Sub ExerciseError(connection)
On Error Resume next
Dim packages
Dim package
' Run the query.
Set package = connection.Get("SMS_Package.PackageID='UNKNOWN'")
If Err.Number<>0 Then
Call DisplayLastError
End If
End Sub
Sub DisplayLastError
Dim ExtendedStatus
' Get the error object.
Set ExtendedStatus = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWBEMLastError")
' Determine the type of error.
If ExtendedStatus.Path_.Class = "__ExtendedStatus" Then
WScript.Echo "WMI Error: "& ExtendedStatus.Description
ElseIf ExtendedStatus.Path_.Class = "SMS_ExtendedStatus" Then
WScript.Echo "Provider Error: "& ExtendedStatus.Description
WScript.Echo "Code: " & ExtendedStatus.ErrorCode
End If
End Sub
