Problem with WMI in C#

18 Feb 2017 by Dave Kreskowiak

It works fine on my machine. The problem with WMI is that not everything is required to be filled in by whatever components/drivers you have int the system. It's entirely possible that the Volume object doesn't have DriveLetter filled in.You can check this by downloading WMI Explorer from...

You cannot do that for very obvious security reasons.A process launched on a remote machine is launched in a manner that does not allow a user interface to show to the user logged into the remote machine. There is no way to give any input to that process. If it's waiting for input, it will...

Volume name for a hidden windows partition

3 Sep 2016 by Member 12714049

Is there a way to programmatically get the volume name associated with a hidden Windows disk partition? The hidden partition is found by querying Win32_DiskPartition, but I can't find a way to get the volume name of the partition. Diskpart lists them, so I know they exist. Note that I'm not...

Volume name for a hidden windows partition

31 Aug 2016 by Jochen Arndt

Hidden partitions are not mounted (no drive letter assigned) and can't be therefore accessed using any logical disk based Windows function.When using Win32_DiskPartition you should have access to the label by the Name property. That is the text shown by diskpart in the "Label" column.

WMI error : RPC server is unavailable

12 Apr 2016 by Jochen Arndt

Because you can connect to both IPs from the local network but not from the outside, it seems that the connection is blocked by a firewall (e.g. on a router / gateway). This will not occur when using VPN (the firewall let the VPN packets pass).If your firewall provides logs, you may check...
