[Mono-list] Using Mono to Access WMI on Remote Windows Machine

[Bob Ingraham]

Hi,

I am trying to find a way to have a Linux box obtain WMI information from
Windows machines.

Unfortunately, MicroSoft's WBEM implementation (WMI) uses DCOM as the
transport and and I've only found one commercial DCOM library for Linux
(SoftwareAG).

MS's WMI specs also say that you can use .NET to access WMI information
using the System.Management class.

Does anyone know if:

1. This is already supported in Mono?
2. If there are plans to support it in Mono (I didn't see it in the
RoadMap)?  If so, when?
3. If there's any other way to remotely access WMI information from Linux?

Many Thanks,
El Bobo
