Hi chaps,

I need to use the System.Management namespace. I have a couple of questions
I'm hoping that somebody could help me with first.

1. When I use the management namespace am I using wmi? I'm using a
managementobject to get information on the drives that my system uses. Is
that using WMI?

2. Does WMI work on pre Win 2000 machines?

3. Either way, will the System.Management namespace work on pre win 2000
machines?

Thanks all

Simon

*** Yes. But Win98 doesn't come with WMI installed, you need to install the
WMI core for
Win98(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...ba-337b-4e92-8c18-a63847760ea5&displaylang=en).
2. Does WMI work on pre Win 2000 machines?

*** Yes, however, not all WMI namespaces and classes are available on W98
(see msdn WMI doc's for details).
