Windows Script Host is built into Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, ME and XP.
If you are running Windows 95 or NT4, you can download Windows Script
Host from the Microsoft Windows Script Technologies Web site at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/.
Some information is not returned on non-NT-based systems. A reference set in Projects / References to the Microsoft WMI Scripting Library. Please note: some systems may not report temperature information. Therefore, while informative I do not recommend using this code in a mission-critical application unless you are assured the target machines will return this information, and regardless of application appropriate error handling should be employed. |

The Win32_TemperatureProbe WMI class represents the properties of a temperature sensor (electronic thermometer). (Can't believe I missed the 'e' in 'probe' in the button caption.) This demo and illustration only show some of the available information from the class. For a complete listing see the table in the Comments section below. Note that some systems may not return information in all class properties. |
