This code snippet allows you to connect to a remote instance of Virtual Server 2005 R2, via WMI, and retrieve all the Virtual Machine WMI objects.
1:
2: System.Management.ConnectionOptions co =
3: new System.Management.ConnectionOptions();
4: co.Username = user;
5: co.Password = password;
6:
7: ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope(
8: new ManagementPath(@"\\"+computer+
@"\root\vm\virtualserver"),co); 9:
10: scope.Connect();
11: SelectQuery oq =
12: new SelectQuery("SELECT * FROM VirtualMachine"); 13:
14: ManagementObjectSearcher searcher =
15: new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, oq);
16:
17: foreach (ManagementObject queryObj in searcher.Get())
18: { 19: //Do something
20: }
You need to provide a user and password with enough credentials to query the Virtual Server instance.
