Object required in VB script

Christoph_J_Intel — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 14:01:15 GMT

Hi all,
I try to write a VB script that disables the alarm clock on a AMT 5.1 system. I pasted it below. But when I call Put, I get an Object required error message. I checked the msdn documentation for Session.put, and the example they give work, but mine doesn't, although it is very similar. Does anybody know what's wrong with it?

Christoph

Dim WSMan
Dim Session, Options, iFlags
Set WSMan = CreateObject( "WSMAN.Automation" )

iFlags = WSMan.SessionFlagUseDigest Or _
WSMan.SessionFlagCredUsernamePassword Or _
WSMan.SessionFlagUTF8

Set Options = WSMan.CreateConnectionOptions
Options.Username = "admin"
Options.Password = "P@ssw0rd"

Set Session = WSMan.CreateSession("http://192.168.1.100:16992/wsman", _
iFlags, Options)

strResource = "http://intel.com/wbem/wscim/1/amt-schema/1/AMT_AlarmClockService"

Set objResultSet = Session.Put( strResource, "AMT_AlarmClockServiceIntel AMT Alarm Cloc
k ServiceIntel AMT Alarm Clock ServiceCIM_ComputerSystemManagedSystem" )

While Not objResultSet.AtEndOfStream
Wscript.Echo objResultSet.ReadItem
Wend

Christoph, can you put a check in to see whether the Session object is getting created successfully? The arguments in your Session.put look okay to me, but I'm wondering if there was an issue with the Session object itself getting created.

It seems like it may be a WS-Man issue and I've asked Randy to take a look.

From an Alarm Clock perspective, to clear/disable the alarm you should just need to call PUT with null arguments. The only thing I can think of to try is adding the arguments for the start time and interval, but not put any values with them.
