That is not a WMI thing... That is a vbscript thing.



IMO:

Pick a languages (Powershell of course :) )

Learn basic WMI design (how it works generically)

Learn basic .NET

Your golden. Plenty of examples and people to ask questions of

Okay but what if one wants to better understand that strComputer = "."
means set to local computer. Which place/SDK/book/msdn site is the best
place to better understand what scriptomatic is doing? (besides googling
each term)?

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] [OT] BIND as Secondary DNS?

>From one of my upcoming books:



WMI stands for Windows Management Instrumentation. WMI is the Microsoft
implementation of something known as CIM, which stands for Common
Information Model. CIM (and therefore WMI) is an industry-standard way of
representing information about computing objects. These objects include
processors, processes, tasks, networks, IP addresses, routers, switches,
etc. etc. There are literally hundreds of WMI objects implemented within
modern versions of Windows (WMI was first available in Windows 2000 Server).

WMI provides a schema (that is, a description of the information that is
available) and a specification of the format of the data contained within
the schema. Within WMI, Microsoft has also defined a simple and standard
mechanism for accessing the information contained therein.

In my opinion, you get a great deal of value from spending time reading the
MSDN documents on (for example) Win32_Process. And if you get there, you can
see all the other Win32_* items. Drill down, and lo and behold, there is a
wealth of data.



Within PowerShell, start with "gwmi win32_process | fl" and go from there.

I think it's what you are used to and what makes sense to your platform.

Up here in the GUI world PowerShell is being used all around me. SBS is
exposing it in the 2k8 era and using it for antispam cmdlets in Exchange
2k7, move data scripting and it's being used in the backup tasks. IIS 7
just came out with a PowerShell platform as well.

You and your blinking c prompt server core world it's understandable :-)

Forgive the very newb question... in my platform I am looking at PowerShell
but find that the PowerShell scripting tutorials assume a foundational
knowledge of WMI, Common Information Model Standards and what not. What
resource would you gurus say is the best one for better understanding these
foundations?

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] [OT] BIND as Secondary DNS?

Binary, Unicode, and large int can't be marshalled into text? How do you
know that isn't happening in the backend somewhere currently? Say some XML
stream of some sort? There is and has been a whole object passing model that
has existed for years and years and years called CORBA but the actual
implementation of that is a bit FAT for what we are talking about because it
needed to account for many things we don't care about in the command line
management world. But a similar idea slimmed down to the specific case of
passing data between two command line processes would be nice and it could
be published as a protocol instead of locking into a specific app model.



I think you are happy that the data marshalling is done and you don't have
to deal with it, the fact that it is powershell or .net or anything else
doesn't really play into it. Anything given to you with the same
functionality would have been fine. It is like when people rave about
PowerShell because it lets them manage Exchange at the command line, that
isn't an argument for PowerShell, it is an argument for having anything that
can actually do what you need that didn't exist or possibly didn't know how
to do before.



I like the idea of PowerShell, I think the .NET requirement was extremely
shortsighted considering it isn't what I would consider a first class
citizen of the OS. But I still don't see anything that PoS does for me that
makes me go, my god, I could never accomplish that any other way. Once we
start seeing kernel components written in and being run by .NET pieces
meaning perf has actually been looked at in some serious way, .NET will
start looking more attractive to me. Write now the arguments are mostly of
the variety that people gave for VB years ago and that wasn't enough to get
me to use VB either. Ditto Java. Now when Borland came out with Borland
Builder which gave me VB capability with native good c++ code, I was all
over that.

What about Binary Data? Unicode? or iADSLargeInteger. The biggest thing you
lose is ability to maintain the integrity of the object/text throughout the
pipe. Using .NET you know if you have FileInfo object it will stay a
FileInfo object until you decide to change it. The problem isn't passing the
text, it is knowing what to do with it on the flip side. The benefit you
have with the object model is Typing. I can TYPE the data so that there is
no ambiguity in the interpretation of the "text."



I don't feel the need to debate the design of Powershell (that is water
under the bridge,) but the validity of the usefulness of dealing with
Objects. Ironically we both agree with the crapiness of the s.ds.d namespace
and ADSI in general, but that is a VERY small scope for Powershell. When it
comes to Dealing with Processes, Files, WMI, and the slew of other things
that Powershell Addresses from an Admin point of view using the .NET
namespace was a good idea.



What Dushyant was talking about was, in Powershell you can have Parameters
that can be passed via the Pipe. These Parameters are determined by Type or
by Name. If it is a STRING it goes here, if it is a DATETIME it goes there,
if it is ... You get the idea. You can NOT achieve that passing just text.
It is just not feasible. Basically, I get your point, The serialization is
still done I just don't have to deal with it. This is the draw. I don't have
to worry about it. Not to mention it is SUPER powerful.



In regards to "defined this standard passing mechanism" They did... its
called .NET Almost all the stuff they needed already had pre-defined .NET
classes that could be used.



I really respect your opinion. You have a lot of experience, but I think in
this case you have been blinded by your hatred for .NET (albeit
understandable hatred.) Could Powershell have been done different...
absolutely. Could it have been done better... absolutely. Should they have
used .NET or just a standard parsing methods... that is converstation for
you and Jeffrey Snover.



btw... Powershell is not a shell. It is an Engine similar to vbscript
parsing engine. They just have a shell that loads Powershell.

Give me an example or three of things you can do that you don't think could

programs (or if you prefer, call them cmdlets) that you can't do with
passing text. And as we were discussing at the summit, these should not be
things based on two apps not speaking the same language because no one
defined a protocol for the text streaming interchang, but things that
couldn't be done period even if that was defined. As you know and despite
the incorrect assumption/comment made by Dushyant in the PoS session,
Adfind/Mod and ds* can actually communicate with each other in great part
because I allowed it and that isn't all that hard as long as people agree on
a format. But give me an example of something that can't be done with that
object passing that you feel can't be accomplished if the
agreements/protocols aren't established.



I think we would have been better served if MSFT had defined this standard
passing mechanism versus doing what was done. Something that wasn't solely
reliant on .NET. The .NET requirement is a silly requirement IMO. Anyway,
this wouldn't even need a whole new shell to pull off and the foundation
would have built up a lot faster and be far wider and accepted now than it
is. Again, IMO.

While I still think it would be cool for you to write them... I have S.DS.P
now... That solves my immediate need so I can do the rest :)



It may not be as fast as ADFind, but the flexibility of objects will more
than make up for that time lost with my ability to process the output.



To be clear... I think ADFind and ADMod awesome tools and I am very grateful
for them.
