Win32 perl sample code
The foundations for Manageability in Windows is Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI; formerly WBEM) and WMI extensions for Windows Driver Model (WDM).
ActiveXperts Network Monitor provides the ability to build monitor check routines based on WMI. ActiveXperts has collected more than a hundred WMI samples. You can use these samples as a base for new check routines you can write yourself. The Win32 WMI class can be used in ActiveXperts Network Monitor to monitor your servers.
Sample Code
use Win32::OLE('in'); my $computer = "."; my $objWMIService = Win32::OLE->GetObject("winmgmts:\\\\$computer\\root\\CIMV2") or die "WMI connection failed.\n"; my $colItems = $objWMIService->ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Account", "WQL"); foreach my $objItem (in $colItems) { print "Caption: $objItem->{Caption}\n"; print "Description: $objItem->{Description}\n"; print "Domain: $objItem->{Domain}\n"; print "InstallDate: $objItem->{InstallDate}\n"; print "LocalAccount: $objItem->{LocalAccount}\n"; print "Name: $objItem->{Name}\n"; print "SID: $objItem->{SID}\n"; print "SIDType: $objItem->{SIDType}\n"; print "Status: $objItem->{Status}\n"; print "\n"; print "########\n"; print "\n"; }
