The class is documented in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa375050%28VS.85%29.aspx
And from this page it seems it s not an abstract class:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa375084%28VS.85%29.aspx
But whenever I run the code below I get an "Invalid Class" exception in ManagementObjectSearcher.Get(). So, does this class exist or not?
ManagementScope scope;
ConnectionOptions options = new ConnectionOptions();
options.Username = tbUsername.Text;
options.Password = tbPassword.Password;
options.Authority = String.Format("ntlmdomain:{0}", tbDomain.Text);
scope = new ManagementScope(String.Format("\\{0}\root\RSOP", tbHost.Text), options);
scope.Connect();
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, new ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM RSOP_RegistryPolicySetting"));
foreach (ManagementObject queryObj in searcher.Get())
{
wmiResults.Text += String.Format("id={0}
", queryObj["id"]);
wmiResults.Text += String.Format("precedence={0}
", queryObj["precedence"]);
wmiResults.Text += String.Format("registryKey={0}
", queryObj["registryKey"]);
wmiResults.Text += String.Format("valueType={0}
", queryObj["valueType"]);
}
In the first link above, it lists as a requirement something called a "MOF": "Rsopcls.mof". Is this something I should have but have not? How do I obtain it? Is it necessary in the querying machine or the queried machine? Or both?
I do have two copies of this file:
