However, I’ve recently found that the open-source WMI Delphi Code Creator is far superior.

It’s open-source too: http://code.google.com/p/wmi-delphi-code-creator/

Don’t let the name fool you, it can generate code for querying WMI classes, executing WMI methods, and receiving WMI events in Microsoft C++, Borland C++, C#, Delphi, Free Pascal. Check it out, you’ll be glad you did.

As you mention, using CLR to create a quick function, to retrieve these counters, shouldn’t take too long.

Rhys,

Thanks for the link. The problem is that I need to get at O/S counters from my database connection. So, if I am connected to the db already, then the natural inclination is to use TSQL. WHile POSH can get the job done, I can’t call it from TSQL, can I? (and boy, wouldn’t it be nice if I could!)
