Vista - Trouble with winmgmts in vbs...

I've got a script that goes out and reads registry keys on computers
on our network and then writes them to a .csv.

It works... but only for one computer at a time. If I try to run a
list of computer names through it.. it just keeps pulling the registry
from the first machine.

Here's the winmgmts line:

==============================
Set oRegistry = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\
\" & strComputer & "/root/default:StdRegProv")
=========================

The strComputer variable changes just fine as the script moves through
the list. But, for some reason the winmgmts command doesn't want to
look at anything other than the first computer... even when instructed
not to.

Does the winmgmts need to be reset or something? I just don't get
it.

if you encounter a computer that cannot be connected to (because of
permissions, old OS, corrupt WMI, disabled DCOM, remote computer offline,
etc.). We need to see more code to troubleshoot further. Hopefully you don't
use "On Error Resume Next" throughout as that makes troubleshooting very
difficult and could account for what you observe. You might be able to
troubleshoot the problem yourself by removing "On Error Resume Next".

When I code similar things I use "On Error Resume Next" only for the
GetObject("winmgmts:...") statement. Then I trap the error if the computer
cannot be contacted with "If (Err.Number <> 0) Then" and then restore normal
error handling with "On Error GoTo 0". If this doesn't help, we need to see
more code.
