How to Retrieve an Instance

You can retrieve a local copy of the instance with a call to GetObject with the object path of the instance. The following example shows how to retrieve an IPDLC connection using WMI:

Set ObjClass = Namespace.Get("MsSna_ConnectionIpDlc")  
  

Besides retrieving a single instance, you can also retrieve collections of WMI instances by querying the WMI database with a SELECT statement.
