Hello,

I would like to take the functionality in this vb code and do the exact in autoit. I seem to be lost when doing WMI stuff in auto it. Any help or advice to lead me in the right direction would very much appreciated.

Here is the VB Script:

'WMI_Model.vbs
'January 2006, Rob D., hdsurvivor.blogspot.com
'Determine model of PC, and run appropriate post-imaging script

Dim strComputer '. is the local PC
Dim WshShell 'the windows script shell
Dim strModelScript 'name of the script to run
Dim CommandShell 'the command shell to use
Dim strQuery 'the WMI Query to run
Dim colCompSys 'the win32_ComputerSystem collection
Dim strScriptPath 'path to build scripts
DIM PCModel 'the trimmed string with the model name

strComputer = "."
strScriptPath = "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Scripts"
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strQuery="SELECT * from Win32_ComputerSystem"
Set colCompSys=GetObject("WinMgmts://" & strComputer & "/root/cimv2").ExecQuery(strQuery)

For Each WMIProperty in colCompSys
PCModel = TRIM(WMIProperty.Model)
Select Case PCModel
Case "HP ProBook 6445b"
strModelScript = "6445b.exe"
WScript.Echo "Configuring HP ProBook 6445b"
Case "HP rp5700 Business System"
strModelScript = "5700.exe"
WScript.Echo "Configuring HP RP5700"
Case Else
WScript.Echo "The PC Model is " & PCModel & VBCrLf & " There is no configuration for this model"
WScript.Quit
End Select
Next

CommandShell = "cmd.exe /C "
WshShell.Run(CommandShell + strScriptPath + strModelScript)

WScript.Quit

I've never used WMI in AutoIt before, but I think I've got it. This script basically produces the same results that your vbscript does, on my PC.

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-q -d -w1 -w2 -w3 -w4 -w5 -w6
Local $sPC = ".", $sScript, $model

Local $oWMIService = ObjGet("WinMgmts:\\" & $sPC & "\root\CIMV2")
If IsObj($oWMIService) Then
    Local $colItems = $oWMIService.ExecQuery('SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem', 'WQL', 0x30)
    If IsObj($colItems) Then
        For $oItem In $colItems
            $model = $oItem.Model
            Switch $model
                Case "HP ProBook 6445b"
                    MsgBox(0, "", "Configuring HP ProBook 6445b")
                    Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Scripts\6445b.exe")
                Case "HP rp5700 Business System"
                    MsgBox(0, "", "Configuring HP RP5700")
                    Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Scripts\5700.exe")
                Case Else
                    Exit MsgBox(0, "", "The PC Model is " & $model & @CRLF & " There is no configuration for this model")
            EndSwitch
        Next
    EndIf
EndIf

It works great thank you very much! WMI is still very hazy to me. But I really appreciate your time and from your script I can see what i need to do for the future. Thanks again!

If you need more WMI in the future please have a look at the AutoIt implementation of Scriptomatic.

It let's you all kind of WMI queries, test the results and genereates Autoit source code for you.
