Hi, I'm trying to auth to remote machines so I can plunder WMI to get logs and settings and the like. My script works for most of my machines because they're all in the same domain and I run the script as somebody who has enough access to get at this stuff but for machines off the domain I'm stuck.
Now I'm primarily a sys/network admin and not a programmer. As a sys admin if I had this problem while trying to pull eventlogs manually with eventvwr I would simply map a drive to the remote machine. That would allow me to enter a username/password and then once I was authed I'd have a session and I'd be able to piggyback on that session to pull logs. I'm looking to do exactly that from inside my script. I could probably import os and call the net use command to map a drive and get a session that way but that feels really sloppy to me. I want to be able to explicitly close this session when I'm done with it too. So I figure there's a com object I could call to open this session for me but I can't figure out what it is. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
