Need help with translation

I'm attempting to translate the following bit of code from this vbs script.

code:

 Set OpSysSet=GetObject("winmgmts:{(Debug,RemoteShutdown)}//" _
                   & ComputerName & "/root/cimv2").ExecQuery( _
              "Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Primary=true")
 For Each OpSys in OpSysSet
 OpSys.Win32Shutdown(x)
 Next

Unfortunantly I know as much about COM as I know about VBS.

Here are a couple of my attempts. Please let me know where I am going wrong.

code:

$ObjShutdown = GetObject("winmgmts:{(Debug,RemoteShutdown)}!\\computername\root\cimv2")
.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Primary=true")
For Each $OpSys in $ObjShutdown
$execut = $OpSys.Win32Shutdown(4)
Next

code:

$ObjShutdown = GetObject("winmgmts:{(Debug,RemoteShutdown)}!\\computername\root\cimv2")
$OpSysSet = $ObjShutdown.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Primary=true")
For Each $OpSys in $OpSysSet
$execut = $OpSys.Win32Shutdown(4)
Next

Thanks

Just started working when I removed all of the error checking. Strange.. Well anyways I give you Remote Logoff! Ta-Da (the first bit of my code that is) [ 21.

Vig Vig Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2001-11-14 Posts: 166 Loc: Saudi Arabia	I believe I'm on the verge of understanding this and if someone could answer a couple questions I'd be greatfull. First, what is the purpose of "Debug,Remoteshutdown" in the following line. code: winmgmts:{(Debug,RemoteShutdown)} In some of the examples on this board I've seen different words such as "impersonationLevel=impersonate" and others were blank. Second, why was it necessary to do a query for "Primary=true". I was looking at Win32Shutdown on MS MSDN but I see no reference to "this must happen" before you can do "this". I'm trying to understand what the value of $OpSys is in "$execut = $OpSys.Win32Shutdown(4)". Thanks for any help.

Chris S. Chris S. MM club member Registered: 2002-03-18 Posts: 2368 Loc: Earth	Answers: 1) Debug. Executes Privileged Operations. From the SDK: Revokes and Resets Privileges 2) "Primary=true". Used to verify that the returned OS is the primary OS that WMI is 'finding'. 3) value of $OpSys/ Jpols is correct. The line: *$OpSysSet = $ObjShutdown.ExecQuery("Select from Win32_OperatingSystem where Primary=true")** creates an object that is a collection (array) of all the installed operating systems. Therefore it must be parsed to operate instructions against it. [ 21. November 2002, 15:12: Message edited by: Chris S. ]
