ManagementScope Constructors

Definition

Initializes a new instance of the ManagementScope class.

Overloads

ManagementScope()

Initializes a new instance of the ManagementScope class, with default values. This is the parameterless constructor.

ManagementScope(ManagementPath)

Initializes a new instance of the ManagementScope class representing the specified scope path.

ManagementScope(String)

Initializes a new instance of the ManagementScope class representing the specified scope path.

ManagementScope(ManagementPath, ConnectionOptions)

Initializes a new instance of the ManagementScope class representing the specified scope path, with the specified options.

ManagementScope(String, ConnectionOptions)

Initializes a new instance of the ManagementScope class representing the specified scope path, with the specified options.

ManagementScope()

Source:
ManagementScope.cs
Source:
ManagementScope.cs
Source:
ManagementScope.cs

Initializes a new instance of the ManagementScope class, with default values. This is the parameterless constructor.

C#
public ManagementScope();

Remarks

If the object does not have any properties set before connection, it is initialized with default values (for example, the local machine and the root\cimv2 namespace).

Source:
ManagementScope.cs

Initializes a new instance of the ManagementScope class representing the specified scope path.

C#
public ManagementScope(string path);

Parameters

path
String

The server and namespace path for the ManagementScope.

Examples

The following example initializes a new ManagementScope with a specific path and then connects the scope object to a WMI namespace. The example connects to a namespace on a remote computer.

C#
using System;
using System.Management;
public class RemoteConnect
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        /*// Build an options object for the remote connection
        //   if you plan to connect to the remote
        //   computer with a different user name
        //   and password than the one you are currently using

             ConnectionOptions options =
                 new ConnectionOptions();

             // and then set the options.Username and
             // options.Password properties to the correct values
             // and also set
             // options.Authority = "ntlmdomain:DOMAIN";
             // and replace DOMAIN with the remote computer's
             // domain.  You can also use Kerberos instead
             // of ntlmdomain.
        */

        // Make a connection to a remote computer.
        // Replace the "FullComputerName" section of the
        // string "\\\\FullComputerName\\root\\cimv2" with
        // the full computer name or IP address of the
        // remote computer.
        ManagementScope scope =
            new ManagementScope(
            "\\\\FullComputerName\\root\\cimv2");
        scope.Connect();

        // Use this code if you are connecting with a
        // different user name and password:
        //
        // ManagementScope scope =
        //    new ManagementScope(
        //        "\\\\FullComputerName\\root\\cimv2", options);
        // scope.Connect();

        //Query system for Operating System information
        ObjectQuery query = new ObjectQuery(
            "SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem");
        ManagementObjectSearcher searcher =
            new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope,query);

        ManagementObjectCollection queryCollection = searcher.Get();
        foreach ( ManagementObject m in queryCollection)
        {
            // Display the remote computer information
            Console.WriteLine("Computer Name : {0}",
                m["csname"]);
            Console.WriteLine("Windows Directory : {0}",
                m["WindowsDirectory"]);
            Console.WriteLine("Operating System: {0}",
                m["Caption"]);
            Console.WriteLine("Version: {0}", m["Version"]);
            Console.WriteLine("Manufacturer : {0}",
                m["Manufacturer"]);
        }
    }
