I am trying to make a comparison between a machine name i have retrieved from AD, and the DNS Host Name i want to get using WMI from the machine.
I currently have:
foreach (SearchResult oneMachine in allMachinesCollected)
{
pcName = oneMachine.Properties["name"][0].ToString();
ConnectionOptions setupConnection = new ConnectionOptions();
setupConnection.Username = USERNAME;
setupConnection.Password = PASSWORD;
setupConnection.Authority = "ntlmdomain:DOMAIN";
ManagementScope setupScope = new ManagementScope("\\\\" + pcName + "\\root\\cimv2", setupConnection);
setupScope.Connect();
ObjectQuery dnsNameQuery = new ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem");
ManagementObjectSearcher dnsNameSearch = new ManagementObjectSearcher(setupScope, dnsNameQuery);
ManagementObjectCollection allDNSNames = dnsNameSearch.Get();
string dnsHostName;
foreach (ManagementObject oneName in allDNSNames)
{
dnsHostName = oneName.Properties["DNSHostName"].ToString();
if (dnsHostName == pcName)
{
shutdownMethods.ShutdownMachine(pcName, USERNAME, PASSWORD);
MessageBox.Show(pcName + " has been sent the reboot command");
}
}
}
}
But i get a ManagementException >> dnsHostName = oneName.Properties["DNSHostName"].ToString(); << here saying not found. Any ideas?
