This python script gets no URL overrides and no user settings:
PythonWin 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Nov 3 2009, 13:23:17) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32.

>>> import win32com.client
>>>locator = win32com.client.Dispatch("WbemScripting.SwbemLocator")
>>> s = locator.ConnectServer(".", "\\\\.\\ROOT\\CIMV2\\Applications\
\WindowsParentalControls")
>>> s.Security_.ImpersonationLevel = 3
>>> x = s.InstancesOf("WpcURLOverride")
>>> x.Count
0
>>> x = s.InstancesOf("WpcUserSettings")
>>> x.Count
0
>>> s.InstancesOf("WpcSystemSettings") #works OK
<COMObject InstancesOf>
Numerous false starts deleted. I tried without setting the
ImpersonationLevel, and I tried ExecQuery, with the same results.
I am running from an admin account on Vista.
The comparable VBS script works fine:
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\ROOT\CIMV2\Applications
\WindowsParentalControls")
Set urls = objWMIService.ExecQuery("select * from WpcURLOverride where
SID = """ _
& kelsey.SID &"""")
WScript.Echo urls.Count
I speculate this is a permission issue, since I understand admin
accounts have an elevated and a regular privilege token. The parental
controls documentation doesn't indicate there are permission issues with
read access, however.
Why isn't the python working, and what can I do to make it work?
Thanks.
