WMI provider for WDS

[MagellanTX]

I hope this is the right group for this question, I couldn't find one dealing with the WDS server itself.

Is there a WMI provider for the WDS server? I need to manage the WDS images remotely and I can't seemd to find a WMI namespace.

Thanks!

I'm sure if the WAIK has it, but the OPK tools (vista servicing 1.1) comes with an SDK.

If you do have the SDK, check out the Component Platform Interface (CPI) Reference and Windows Imaging Interface Reference CHMs.

Thanks for the response. I'll check out the SDK; all I need to do is get a list of available images and was hoping they had a WMI namespace for it.

WDS actually doesn't have a WMI provider interface at all, unfortunately. In fact, there's not even API functions for the WDS console or the server hosting the images, only the client and server functions (PXE Boot, etc).

Thanks for the answers everyone, unfortunately I'll have to make due for now and just hope they come out with an API, or WMI provider

I posted the link to that HTA because Geezery used a COM Object to get the info from the WIMs, which may have been the same info you wanted to get.
