I implemented 1-5 steps from :
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa390423(v=vs.85).aspx
Everyting works, but i have problem with getting data from object which i retreive with query.
My code:
// Step 1: --------------------------------------------------
// Initialize COM. ------------------------------------------
hres = CoInitializeEx(0, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);
if (FAILED(hres))
{
//cout << "Failed to initialize COM library. Error code = 0x"
// << hex << hres << endl;
return 1; // Program has failed.
}
// Step 2: --------------------------------------------------
// Set general COM security levels --------------------------
hres = CoInitializeSecurity(
NULL,
-1, // COM authentication
NULL, // Authentication services
NULL, // Reserved
RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_DEFAULT, // Default authentication
RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_IMPERSONATE, // Default Impersonation
NULL, // Authentication info
EOAC_NONE, // Additional capabilities
NULL // Reserved
);
if (FAILED(hres))
{
//cout << "Failed to initialize security. Error code = 0x"
// << hex << hres << endl;
CoUninitialize();
return 1; // Program has failed.
}
// Step 3: ---------------------------------------------------
// Obtain the initial locator to WMI -------------------------
pLoc = NULL;
hres = CoCreateInstance(
CLSID_WbemLocator,
0,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
IID_IWbemLocator, (LPVOID *) &pLoc);
if (FAILED(hres))
{
//cout << "Failed to create IWbemLocator object."
// << " Err code = 0x"
// << hex << hres << endl;
CoUninitialize();
return 1; // Program has failed.
}
// Step 4: -----------------------------------------------------
// Connect to WMI through the IWbemLocator::ConnectServer method
pSvc = NULL;
// Connect to the root\cimv2 namespace with
// the current user and obtain pointer pSvc
// to make IWbemServices calls.
hres = pLoc->ConnectServer(
_bstr_t(L"ROOT\\CIMV2"), // Object path of WMI namespace
NULL, // User name. NULL = current user
NULL, // User password. NULL = current
0, // Locale. NULL indicates current
NULL, // Security flags.
0, // Authority (for example, Kerberos)
0, // Context object
&pSvc // pointer to IWbemServices proxy
);
if (FAILED(hres))
{
//cout << "Could not connect. Error code = 0x"
// << hex << hres << endl;
pLoc->Release();
CoUninitialize();
return 1; // Program has failed.
}
//OutputDebugString("Connected to ROOT\\CIMV2 WMI namespace");
// Step 5: --------------------------------------------------
// Set security levels on the proxy -------------------------
hres = CoSetProxyBlanket(
pSvc, // Indicates the proxy to set
RPC_C_AUTHN_WINNT, // RPC_C_AUTHN_xxx
RPC_C_AUTHZ_NONE, // RPC_C_AUTHZ_xxx
NULL, // Server principal name
RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_CALL, // RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_xxx

NULL, // client identity
EOAC_NONE // proxy capabilities
);
if (FAILED(hres))
{
cout << "Could not set proxy blanket. Error code = 0x"
<< hex << hres << endl;
pSvc->Release();
pLoc->Release();
CoUninitialize();
return 1; // Program has failed.
}
code above is the same as msdn example.
Problem is here:
// Get the currently inserted USB devices
IEnumWbemClassObject* pEnumerator = NULL;
hres = pSvc->ExecQuery(
bstr_t("WQL"),
bstr_t("SELECT * FROM Win32_USBControllerDevice"),
WBEM_FLAG_FORWARD_ONLY | WBEM_FLAG_RETURN_IMMEDIATELY,
NULL,
&pEnumerator);
if (FAILED(hres))
{
//cout << "Query for USB devices at startup failed."
// << " Error code = 0x"
// << hex << hres << endl;
pSvc->Release();
pLoc->Release();
CoUninitialize();
return 1; // Program has failed.
}
// Get the data from the query
IWbemClassObject *pclsObj = NULL;
ULONG uReturn = 0;
ostringstream os;
while (pEnumerator){
HRESULT hr = pEnumerator->Next(WBEM_INFINITE, 1,
&pclsObj, &uReturn);
if(0 == uReturn){
break;
}
VARIANT vtProp;
VariantInit(&vtProp);
// Get the value of the accessstate property
hr = pclsObj->Get(L"Dependent", 0, &vtProp, 0, 0);
if (FAILED(hr)){
pSvc->Release();
pLoc->Release();
CoUninitialize();
return 1; // Program has failed.
}
os.str("");
os.clear();
os << vtProp.bstrVal;
OutputDebugString(os.str().c_str());
AddDevice(os.str());//Add device to devices vector
VariantClear(&vtProp);
pclsObj->Release();
}
Exactly in this place:
hr = pclsObj->Get(L"Dependent", 0, &vtProp, 0, 0);
This link describes table elements:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394505(v=vs.85).aspx
So i got Dependent value. My problem is how to get this Dependent properties:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa387884(v=vs.85).aspx
for example : DeviceID
If anyone can help i will be very very grateful!

I would like to enable and disable windows devices as camera using WMI in C++. For example I'm able to access to table MDM_Policy_Result01_Camera02 and get the property AllowCamera quite easily where on the documentation is specify "Access type: Read/write".
So in my opinion I should be able to modify it.
But seems like WQL doesn't work with UPDATE.
This is my code to access to table MDM_Policy_Result01_Camera02 :

Changing SELECT AllowCamera FROM MDM_Policy_Result01_Camera02 with UPDATE MDM_Policy_Result01_Camera02 SET AllowCamera=0 doesn't work ...
If you have any idea, let me know !

If I saved it in a file named sample.cpp I compiled it suing the command
g++ -o sample sample.cpp
Is that a mistake? Should I be compiling it in a different way?
I'm new to this. Can somebody please guide me on how to learn the WMI using C++ in order to read the windows log files?
Kindly respond
Thank you.
It seems like you have just copy pasted the code from a website, due to which & has become & (because of HTML) as mentioned in the comments by #Vlad274.
If you're compiling in the command prompt, you have to link your libraries before compilation, probably ole32 and oleaut.
If you're using Visual Studio, make sure they are included in the linker settings.(Which they are by default in VS2017)
EXTRA: Before using the Get method, you could check for property names using the GetNames method to ensure that the property 'Name' exists.
I'm using WMI to retrieve information about physical drives on the system:
SELECT * FROM Win32_PhysicalMedia
And the "Tag" property returns physical device paths such as "\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0", or "\.\CDROM0", etc.
Is there a way to associate it with the actual drive paths, stuff like "C:" or "D:" or at least a device path "\Device\HarddiskVolume1"?
PS. In despite of my use of WMI, I'm writing the code using WinAPIs and C++.
EDIT:
Below is how it's done in C++. Note that this code should not be called right-when-you-need-this because it is extremely slow. What I would do is run it in a worker thread when the app starts and cache it somewhere for later user. I'd also watch for the WM_DEVICECHANGE notification and rerun it if drive layout changes.
Whew. I know it's complicated ... but, hey, it's Windows.

This MSDN article explains how to use WMI to get from a disk drive to a list of the drive letters on it (it's the final section of the page).
You can use Win32_DiskDrivePhysicalMedia to get from the physical media to the disk drive.
But if you actually want a list of partitions, why not start at Win32_LogicalDisk?
I found some WMI C++ Application Examples in MSDN website.
I have tried the code form the below link
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa390423%28v=VS.85%29.aspx
when I copied and run the application as win32 console application it worked well.
the same code I put into the Qt application ,
When I use QApplication anApplication ( argc, argv ); in my code it is not working
But if I use QCoreApplication anApplication ( argc, argv ); it is working
shows me error like "when i change QCoreApplication to QApplication The below source code not works and gives me error like " Failed to initialize COM library. Error code = 0x80010106 "
Any suggestions or help

The error you are receiving is due to the fact that COM is already initialized. QApplication calls OleInitialize in its constructor, but QCoreApplication does not, so that's why you get the error 0x80010106 (RPC_E_CHANGED_MODE) when you use QApplication. For further reading, see the documentation for CoInitializeEx. The following article should provide more insight.
At first I have used this code
hres = CoInitializeEx(0, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);
if (hres == RPC_E_CHANGED_MODE) {
OleUninitialize();
hres = CoInitializeEx(0, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);
}
When I get error "Failed to initialize COM library(0x80010106)
I just call OleUninitialize to deal with OleInitialize() in QApplication, but that could break some qt functionality.
As I found the best is to use flag COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED for CoInitializeEx
MSDN
Generally, a thread that creates a window should use the COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED flag, and other threads should use COINIT_MULTITHREADED. However, some COM components require a particular threading model. The MSDN documentation should tell you when that is the case.
For me it`s a black magic, but it helped me

When I run this, it not work. What I should change?
Fan speed control via WMI is going to be pretty vendor-specific; there are no general controls for CPU/mainboard fans (though WMI is what people should be doing). Also, this would be way easier in PowerShell or even C# than trying to use C++ to play with WMI stuff. At least figure out how to do it in PSh first, then transcribe it to C++
