The following VBScript code example shows a script that contains an error in the resource URI. The correct resource URI is http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/cimv2/Win32\_QuotaSetting?VolumePath=c:\\.

'Create a WSMan object.
Set objWsman = CreateObject( "WSMAN.Automation" )
If objWsman is Nothing Then
    WScript.Echo "Failed to create WSMAN Automation object"
    WScript.Quit
End If 

'Create a Session object.
Set objSession = objWsman.CreateSession
If objSession is Nothing Then
    WScript.Echo "Failed to create WSMAN Session object"
    WScript.Quit
End If 

strResourceUri = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/"_
    & "wmi/root/cimv2/Win32_QuotaSetting"

On Error Resume Next
strResponse = objSession.Get( strResourceUri )
If Err.number <> 0 Then
    DisplayErrorInfo()
    strErrorXML = objSession.Error
    WScript.Echo strErrorXML
Else
    Call DisplayOutput(strResponse)
End If
On Error Goto 0

Sub DisplayErrorInfo()

    WScript.Echo "An error has occurred."     
    WScript.Echo "Error Info"
    WScript.Echo "-----------"
    WScript.Echo "Number      : 0x" & hex(Err.number)
    WScript.Echo "Description : " & Err.Description
    WScript.Echo "Source      : " & Err.Source
    WScript.Echo "HelpFile    : " & Err.helpfile
    WScript.Echo "HelpContext : " & Err.HelpContext    
    Err.Clear
End Sub

The following text is the error output from the script.
