Title: Message

I modified AdminMisc to use the appropriate Win32 calls. I have a debug version of the updated DLL if you want to try it out. What version of Perl do you use?

~1100 computers. 
"Slow" is the difference between a few minutes and a few hours of runtime, barring threading.  I hate to think that I would have to write a parallel to WMI as a local machine service to be able to quickly poll this information for my domain.  Come to think of it, that would kill 2 birds with one service...:)

I have given my opinion on this before.

I do recognize that not everyone shares my opinion :-).

Do you need to do this for a large number of systems?

Good point; I had missed that one.
