wmi call on win2k3 server : DOTNET

hi,

local wmi call work that way -

even if you have the required privilege (SeShutdownPrivilege) you have to manually request it - usually upon connecting to the wmi service.

have a look at:

I have a c# application which, amongst other things, requires the
shutdown/Reboot of the computer on which it runs.

I have found the very stadnard code for this which uses a wmi call
from the System.Management .net library.

This works perfectly on Windows 2000 machines but when I try to run it
on Windows Server 2003 it returns an Exception from the Management
object of 'Privilege not held'. I have checked all the Local Security
Policy settings for the logged-on user and they all seem ok (e.g.
Shutdown m/c privilege etc...). I have scoured long and hard around
newsgroups to no evail. I am now totally stumped!

btw, all machines are .net Framework 1.1 (I thought maybe it was a
Framework v1 bug but alas no fix when they were all set to run v1.1)

Any advice hugely appreciated.

Dominick,

True, this can be done by setting ManagementScope.Options.EnablePrivileges
to 'true', unfortunately it no longer works using System.Management .NET
v1.1 SP1.
Works correctly using v1.1 though.
