Vista - Type cast

Hi,

I have an WMI object stored in a variable $smsCiLoc and need to cast it to
an array of type [System.Management.ManagementObject[]]. Apparently the
object have not been stored in the resulting array. What am I doing wrong
here?

Thanks,
Joachim

PS C:\> $smsCiLoc.GetType()

IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType
-------- -------- ---- --------
True True ManagementObject System.Management.ManagementBaseObject


PS C:\> $smsCiLoc.PsBase.Properties


Name : Description
Value :
Type : String
IsLocal : False
IsArray : False
Origin : SMS_CI_LocalizedProperties
Qualifiers : {CIMTYPE}

Name : DisplayName
Value : Test
Type : String
IsLocal : True
IsArray : False
Origin : SMS_CI_LocalizedProperties
Qualifiers : {CIMTYPE}

Name : InformativeURL
Value :
Type : String
IsLocal : False
IsArray : False
Origin : SMS_CI_LocalizedProperties
Qualifiers : {CIMTYPE}

Name : LocaleID
Value : 1033
Type : UInt32
IsLocal : True
IsArray : False
Origin : SMS_CI_LocalizedProperties
Qualifiers : {CIMTYPE}



PS C:\> $newDescriptionInfo = [System.Management.ManagementObject[]]
$smsCiLoc
PS C:\> $newDescriptionInfo.GetType()

IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType
-------- -------- ---- --------
True True ManagementObject[] System.Array

PS C:\> $newDescriptionInfo.PSBase

PS C:\> $newDescriptionInfo

Thanks anyway.
