Does Get method in System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher require admin rights?

Question

I would like to use something like the following C# code to check whether the system it is on has a TPM, and of which version it is.

[...]

using System.Management;

[...]

System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("root\\CIMV2\\Security\\MicrosoftTpm", "SELECT * FROM Win32_Tpm");
ManagementObjectCollection tpmCollection = searcher.Get();
foreach (ManagementObject tpm in tpmCollection)
{
    string tpmVersion = tpm["SpecVersion"].ToString();
    name = "TPM Version: " + tpmVersion;
}

Does this code require to be run in admin mode to work? I am asking since the class documentation says something about "Full trust for the immediate caller." in the section on .NET framework security.

Answer 1

Win32_Tpm needs to be executed as Admin

(can be tested with WMICodeCreator as Admin or not (access denied))
