I believe the reason WMIQuery() does not work is because the computer is on a different domain.

How can I get around this?

I think Alex has half the answer. The other half is how to formulate the WMI getobject to provide proper credentials other than simple impersonation. Im assuming that you do not have (by default) admin rights in this other domain ?

Is there a way to impersonate the remote workstation, itself. That way I do not need to know, initially, what domain the computer is on.

Do you mean something like -

code:

---

$SystemSet = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!//@WKSTA")

---

HTH,

- Kent

$SystemSet = GetObject ('winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!//' + $ComputerName)

The difference is that I am specifying a different computer than mine.

I can not cross domains with this.

Just a thought ...

I do not think that WMI uses a seperate function for authenticating connection.

What is the syntax to specify a NT logon domain name and password?
