WZCSvcWMIHandler was only in there once as part of a log file... When I search for it online, all I find is that page. Any insight into how it could be used?
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsI have 400 laptops that I manage that need to be frequently ghosted with updates. I need them to be able to look in a database and see what access point they should be assigned to and then have that AP be their highest priority. I have looked all over online (can't search EE though since I let my qualified expert membership lapse) and can't find anything. I am sure somebody has had to have this problem before, so a link to some code with the appropriate api calls would be appreciated if it can be found.

I'm going to guess that it ultimately uses the Win32_NetworkAdaptor WMI object; the AdapterType property of that can return whether a network device is a wireless one. Alternatively, it may be very similar to the Win32_InfraredDevice object.
Ultimately, I would guess that there are some complex CIM_Setting objects that determine the actual setting of the wireless device. The only thing I can suggest is to enumerate the settings before and after a change, to see what has changed.

There's some scary documentation on some of the protocols at http://www.microsoft.com/t echnet/pro dtechnol/w inxppro/ ma intain/wla nsupp.mspx . Interesting was the reference to the WZCSvcWMIHandler. I would bet that this is an object that can be used to set wireless policies. There's next to no information on it, though, but I'll keep looking.
