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. Steven -----Original Message----- From: Patrick J.

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. - Pat _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Admin mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
