For this solution to work, you have to install the intel WMI provider on
every workstation/server that you want to monitor (and have Intel
cards).

If the WMI class isn't loaded on the system you want to monitor, there's
no data to query.

Registry, on the other hand, is always there (for Intel cards) providing
the system has network connectivity....   :)

But now I am just getting silly.

That is why I sent this link in my last message:

  <http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapter/wmi/>

This is Intel's documentation for their vendor-specific WMI classes,
which include support for querying and modifying the duplex settings
(among other things).

First you will need to get those classes installed, and then you will
need to figure out how to use them :-).  I do not know whether they are
installed with the Intel drivers by default.  They did not appear to be
the last time I checked, but I did not dig very deeply.
