Win32_NetworkConnection class
The Win32_NetworkConnection WMI classrepresents an active network connection in a Windows-based environment.
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties. Properties and methods are in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

Properties
The Win32_NetworkConnection class has these properties.
-
AccessMask
-
-
Data type: uint32
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: Schema ("Win32")
List of access rights to the given file or directory held by the user or group on whose behalf the instance is returned. On FAT volumes, the FULL_ACCESS value is returned instead, indicating no security has been set on the object.
-
-
FILE_READ_DATA (file) or FILE_LIST_DIRECTORY (directory) (1)
-
Grants the right to read data from the file. For a directory, this value grants the right to list the contents of the directory.
-
FILE_WRITE_DATA (file) or FILE_ADD_FILE (directory) (2)
-
Grants the right to write data to the file. For a directory, this value grants the right to create a file in the directory.
-
FILE_APPEND_DATA (file) or FILE_ADD_SUBDIRECTORY (4)
-
Grants the right to append data to the file. For a directory, this value grants the right to create a subdirectory.
-
FILE_READ_EA (8)
-
Grants the right to read extended attributes.
-
FILE_WRITE_EA (16)
-
Grants the right to write extended attributes.
-
FILE_EXECUTE (file) or FILE_TRAVERSE (directory) (32)
-
Grants the right to execute a file. For a directory, the directory can be traversed.
-
FILE_DELETE_CHILD (directory) (64)
-
Grants the right to delete a directory and all of the files it contains (its children), even if the files are read-only.
-
FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES (128)
-
Grants the right to read file attributes.
-
FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES (256)
-
Grants the right to change file attributes.
-
DELETE (65536)
-
Grants delete access.
-
READ_CONTROL (131072)
-
Grants read access to the security descriptor and owner.
-
WRITE_DAC (262144)
-
Grants write access to the discretionary access control list (DACL).
-
WRITE_OWNER (524288)
-
Assigns the write owner.
-
SYNCHRONIZE (1048576)
-
Synchronizes access and allows a process to wait for an object to enter the signaled state.

ConnectionType
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("Win32API|Windows Networking Structures|NETRESOURCE|dwScope")
Persistence type of the connection used for connecting to the network.
Current Connection ("Current Connection")
Persistent Connection ("Persistent Connection")
Description
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: DisplayName ("Description")
A textual description of the object.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
DisplayType
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("Win32API|Windows Networking Structures|NETRESOURCE|dwDisplayType")
Network object should be displayed in a network browsing user interface.
Domain ("Domain")
Generic ("Generic")
Server ("Server")
Share ("Share")
InstallDate
-
Data type: datetime
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5"), DisplayName ("Install Date")
Indicates when the object was installed. Lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
LocalName
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("Win32API|Windows Networking Structures|NETRESOURCE|lpLocalName")
Local name of the connected network device.
Example: "c:\public"
Name
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: key, Override ("Name"), MappingStrings ("Win32API|Windows Networking Structures|NETRESOURCE")
Name of the current network connection. It is the combination of the values in RemoteName and LocalName.
Example: "\\NTRELEASE (c:\public)"
Persistent
-
Data type: boolean
-

ProviderName
-
Data type: string
-

-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (10), DisplayName ("Status")
String that indicates the current status of the object. Operational and non-operational status can be defined. Operational status can include "OK", "Degraded", and "Pred Fail". "Pred Fail" indicates that an element is functioning properly, but is predicting a failure (for example, a SMART-enabled hard disk drive).
Non-operational status can include "Error", "Starting", "Stopping", and "Service". "Service" can apply during disk mirror-resilvering, reloading a user permissions list, or other administrative work. Not all such work is online, but the managed element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
Values include the following:
OK ("OK")
Error ("Error")
Degraded ("Degraded")
Unknown ("Unknown")
Pred Fail ("Pred Fail")
Starting ("Starting")
Stopping ("Stopping")
Service ("Service")
Stressed ("Stressed")

Remarks
The Win32_NetworkConnection class is derived from CIM_LogicalElement.
Examples
The following VBScript code sample retrieves information on the local network connection.
