Using CommandLine Substitution to Connect to the SMS Namespace

  • Article

In most cases, your application can get all the information it needs to log onto the local namespace from the console. Nodes that contian a WBEM subject include the __Server and __Namespace system properties. You can pass this information to your application as command-line options. For example:

"CommandLine"="ApplicationName /Namespace=\\\\##SUB:__Server##\\##SUB:__Namespace##"

You can determine whether a node contains a WBEM subject by viewing the Node Information property sheet for the node. If the node contains a WBEM subject, the property sheet contains the string, "Wbem Subject (Clone):", followed by the instance data for the node. If the node does not contain a WBEM subject, the string, "Wbem Subject (Clone):", is followed by "No WBEM Subject".
