Enumerating Local Physical Printers
Thu, 4 Sep 2008 13:51:15 -0700 (PDT)

a machine. An obvious starting point would be something like:
Select * from Win32_Printer where Local=true and Network=false
The problem here is that many drivers, such a ...

Thu, 4 Sep 2008 11:48:28 +1000
Hi experts,

It takes 45 seconds (or more) for WMI to retrieve the VolumeSpaceUsed for a
user account on my domain, whereas DiskQuota.1 (.dll) takes less than a
second.
This is using the demo code from Microsoft, and the query is be ...

Inspecting files via IIS
Wed, 3 Sep 2008 17:03:17 -0700 (PDT)
Using WMI's access to IIS objects, I'm trying to write a script that
will loop through all my sites, and do something to each site that has

have the application running 24x7 on four XP SP2 machines and two 2003
32-bit machines without leaks). Are ...
