I found myself needing to re-work some code that was originally part of my WMI presentation from 2003.

After a little bit of re-writing and a little bit of searching, I re-wrote my original Delphi routine, which looked like this:

[code lang=”Pascal”]
[Delphi]
procedure TfrmMain.btnShutdownClick(Sender: TObject);
var
wmiLocator: TSWbemLocator;
wmiServices: ISWbemServices;
wmiObjectSet: ISWbemObjectSet;
wmiObject: ISWbemObject;
Enum: IEnumVariant;
ovVar: OleVariant;
lwValue: LongWord;

begin
wmiLocator := TSWbemLocator.Create(self);
wmiServices := wmiLocator.ConnectServer( edtComputer.Text, ‘root\cimv2’, edtUser.Text, edtPass.Text, ”, ”, 0, nil);

wmiServices.Security_.Privileges.Add(wbemPrivilegeShutdown, True);
wmiObjectSet := wmiServices.ExecQuery(‘SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE Primary=True’, ‘WQL’, wbemFlagReturnImmediately, nil);
Enum := (wmiObjectSet._NewEnum) as IEnumVariant;
while (Enum.Next(1, ovVar, lwValue) = S_OK) do begin
wmiObject := IUnknown(ovVar) as SWBemObject;
wmiObject.ExecMethod_(‘Shutdown’, nil, 0, nil);
end;

wmiLocator.Free;
end;
[/code]

…it now looks like this:

[code lang=”C’#”]
[C#]
using System.Management;

public enum ShutDown
{
LogOff = 0,
Shutdown = 1,
Reboot = 2,
ForcedLogOff = 4,
ForcedShutdown = 5,
ForcedReboot = 6,
PowerOff = 8,
ForcedPowerOff = 12
}

…

ManagementClass W32_OS = new ManagementClass(“Win32_OperatingSystem”);
ManagementBaseObject inParams, outParams;
int result;

W32_OS.Scope.Options.EnablePrivileges = true;
foreach(ManagementObject obj in W32_OS.GetInstances())
{
inParams = obj.GetMethodParameters(“Win32Shutdown”);
inParams[“Flags”] = ForcedShutdown;
inParams[“Reserved”] = 0;

outParams = obj.InvokeMethod(“Win32Shutdown”, inParams, null);
result = Convert.ToInt32(outParams[“returnValue”]);
if (result !=0) throw new Win32Exception(result);
}
[/code]

Here’s a link to more information about this on the MSDN.
