BCD WMI Provider Classes

The Boot Configuration Data (BCD) Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) provider runs under the LocalService account and impersonates the client when handling requests. A client must be a member of the Administrators group, have Backup and Restore privileges, and connect to the WMI repository using an impersonation level of Impersonate, as shown in the following example.

GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationlevel=Impersonate,(Backup,Restore)}!root/wmi:BcdStore

For more information, see WbemImpersonationLevelEnum and WbemPrivilegeEnum.
