WMI Plugin

[dperrow]

Hi,
I've created a plugin to call the windows wmi service. It's similar to the 'WMI Query' plugin but uses the wmic interface.

it's called by $dll(wmi,1,GET <Alias>,<WMIObject>

for example $dll(wmi,1,GET CDROM,VolumeName) will provide the name of the cd/dvd currently in the cd/dvd drive.

The following alias/es are available :

How can i switch the namespace of wmi using this plugin?

[dperrow]

This plugin creates a subprocess to execute the command:

"c:\windows\system32\wbem\wmic.exe /output:wmic.tmp <param1> <param2> /value"

so, in theory you could put "/namespace:value param1" as param 1 but I think you'd need to enclose it in quotes and replace any single \ with \\.

I don't understand what the namespace parameter does but by all means try it and see.
