Found a script in the dbase that 'kind of' does what I need to do - stop and start AppPools on an IIS 7 (Server 2008 R2) server. Got the IIS WMI Ver 6 tools installed and I can now actually connect using objService = objLocator.ConnectServer(sCompName,"root/microsoftiisv2","","") with no errors. However whenever I query now (query = "Select * From IIsApplicationPool") I get "SWbemServicesEx Access Denied" error.
I went digging and found a VB post stating I would need to do something like Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{authenticationLevel=Pkt}!\\" _ & strComputer & "\root\...") but can't figure out how to set it up to work with WB. Any help, advice or other method will be GREATLY appreciated!
