Two things: 1) If you run WMI in a thread, you'll need to call pythoncom.CoInitialize first: <code> import pythoncom import wmi pythoncom.CoInitialize () c = wmi.WMI () # # do things # pythoncom.CoUninitialize () </code> 2) If you need a bit of speed running WMI, see the post I sent a few days ago to someone else: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-win32/2007-February/005550.html TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
