Vista - WMI Instances Put Options

Hi,

Is there any way to supply a PutOptions.Type to the Put method of any WMI
Object?

For example, I'm trying to create an Instance of
MSFT_SIPESUserContactGroupData Class.
(msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/lcs2005/rtc/msft_sipesusercontactgroupdata.asp?frame=true).

$UserContactGroupDataInstance = (New-Object
System.Management.ManagementClass("MSFT_SIPESUserContactGroupData")).CreateInstance()

$UserContactGroupDataInstance.Name = "Sample Communicator Group"
$UserContactGroupDataInstance.UserInstanceID =
"{701F0848-998F-934B-B207-2F1DE1282190}"

And now I would like to commit it. The MSDN page states that:
For PutInstance operations, only the WBEM_FLAG_CREATE_ONLY and
WBEM_FLAG_UPDATE_ONLY flags are supported.

So, I tried the following way:

$PutOptions = New-Object System.Management.PutOptions
$PutOptions.Type = 2

$UserContactGroupDataInstance.Put($PutOptions)

But, this gives me the following error:
Exception calling "Put" with "1" argument(s): "Exception calling "Put" with
"0" argument(s): "Provider is not capable of the attempted operation ""
At line:1 char:34
+ $UserContactGroupDataInstance.Put( <<<< $PutOptions)

Does anyone have any idea?

Hi Andrey,

Can you try using PsBase to access other overloads of Put() method. V1 of
PowerShell do not expose .net methods of the adapted objects. Put method is
implemented as a script to address some common scenarios. Can you try the
following:

$UserContactGroupDataInstance.PsBase.Put($PutOptions)

Example:

PS C:\Documents and Settings\kriscv> $wmi = gwmi win32_computersystem
PS C:\Documents and Settings\kriscv> $wmi.psbase | gm put | fl


TypeName : System.Management.Automation.PSMemberSet
Name : Put
MemberType : Method
Definition : System.Management.ManagementPath Put(),
System.Management.ManagementPath Put(PutOptions options), System.V
oid Put(ManagementOperationObserver watcher), System.Void
Put(ManagementOperationObserver watcher, PutOpti
ons options)

Thanks
