Sel * from CIM_DataFile stop scanning mapped drives
Daniel Schell
My first post to these newsgroups, so sorry if its been
covered. I've written a script which scans the computer
for all instances of gdiplus.dll and reports the version.
It works fine but also scans mapped network drives which
can take a while on large mapped drives.
My WMI query is below:
Set colFolders = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * From CIM_DataFile Where " & _
"FileName = 'gdiplus' and Extension = 'dll'")
I tried adding "where drive=c or d", however it still
searches these drives (i guess checking the property of
each file to see if it on the c/d drive :/).
Any suggestions would be most appreciated :)

Hi
For a script example that only searches through local
disks (DriveType=3):
