WMI Query Permissions?

[Bradley Plett]

I'm fairly new to WMI. I am searching "root\MicrosoftIISv2" with the
following query: "select * from IIsApplicationPoolSetting". This
works like a charm from an administrator account, but I am trying to
run this with an account that does not have full privilege. Can I
adjust the WMI permissions required to run this (and, if so, how)?
Alternatively, if I need to adjust the user's privilege level, what do
I need to add?

What I find a little odd is that users without privilege can run this
without getting an exception - they just get an empty set returned. Of
course, that doesn't really matter to me - I just want to get it
working. :-)

Thanks!
Brad.

See here: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20010614a.asp

Set WMI permissions with :
Control Panel:
Administrative Tools/
Computer Management /
Services and Applications /
WMI Control /
(right click) Properties
[Security tab]
Root
Security

set the permissions required
