Services from LocalHost

While trying to get a list of services from localhost...

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Management.ManagementException' occurred in system.management.dll

Additional information: Invalid namespace

I have the System.Management reference,
I have also imported the namespace.

The query is:
strQuery = "SELECT * FROM Win32_Service"

//setup
query = new ManagementObjectSearcher(ms, oq);

//This line generates the error
queryCollection = query.Get();

Ideas?

I don't see any errors in the information you provided. Maybe a look at this project

http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/WMI.asp

might help.

nvoigt, If your interested it was because of the scope I had written.

The proper way is:

ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope("\\\\localhost\\root\\cimv2", options);

options is the connection options. Using the default constructor.

I'm not sure what '\\cimv2' is though

Is it possible to get a list of usernames logged in, Full user name and the IP their using ?

i.e.

jsmith John Smith 192.168.43.66


sort of like a network inventory scanner....
