Help on the check_nc_net says:</div> <div> </div> <div># * - list all namespaces </div> <div># namespace^* - list all classes in namespace </div> <div># namespace^ full query statement - enter a full query statement as second parameter</div> <div># namespace^*^class - list all instances in class</div> <div> </div> <div>‘List all classes in namespace’ works fine. ‘List all instances in class’ doesn’t:</div> <div> </div> <div># ./check_nc_net -H 192.168.0.2 -v WMICHECK -l "DEFAULT^*^StdRegProv"</div> <div>Client - ERROR: Could not find result</div> <div> </div> <div># ./check_nc_net -H 192.168.0.2 -v WMICHECK -l "DEFAULT^*^RegistryEvent"</div> <div>Client - ERROR: Could not find result</div> <div> </div> <div>Same result no matter what class.</div> <div> </div> <div>Second, I’m trying to do a WMI query. Most work just fine, but others – straight from the WQL examples – don’t. Specifically, I’m trying to look for a registry change, like so:</div> <div> </div> <div>./check_nc_net -H 192.168.0.2 -v WMICHECK –l “CIMV2^SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_Service' AND TargetInstance._Class = 'win32_TerminalService'”</div> <div> </div> <div>and I get back</div> <div> </div> <div>Client - ERROR: Exeption occured in check wmi:</div> <div>Select: cimv2:SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_Service' AND TargetInstance._Class = 'win32_TerminalService'::>Invalid query</div> <div>+ exit 0</div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div>Am I missing something simple, or is this just not possible?</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks….</div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> </font> </body> </html>
