class Win32_BaseBoard : CIM_Card

[Vegan Fanatic]

so far I have this:

HRESULT getMBstring(void) {
HRESULT hr;
hr = CoInitializeEx(0, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);
if (FAILED(hr)) {
std::cout << "Failed to initialize COM library. Error code = 0x" << std::hex << hr << std::endl;
return hr;
}
hr = CoInitializeSecurity(
NULL, // Security descriptor
-1, // COM negotiates authentication service
NULL, // Authentication services
NULL, // Reserved
RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_DEFAULT, // Default authentication level for proxies
RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_IMPERSONATE, // Default Impersonation level for proxies
NULL, // Authentication info
EOAC_NONE, // Additional capabilities of the client or server
NULL); // Reserved
if (FAILED(hr)) {
std::cout << "Failed to initialize security. Error code = 0x" << std::hex << hr << std::endl;
CoUninitialize();
return hr; // Program has failed.
}
IWbemLocator *pLoc = 0;
hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_WbemLocator, 0, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IWbemLocator, (LPVOID *) &pLoc);
if (FAILED(hr)) {
std::cout << "Failed to create IWbemLocator object. Err code = 0x" << std::hex << hr << std::endl;
CoUninitialize();
return hr; // Program has failed.
}
IWbemServices *pSvc = 0;

// Connect to the root\default namespace with the current user.
hr = pLoc->ConnectServer(BSTR(L"ROOT\\DEFAULT"), NULL, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, 0, &pSvc);

if (FAILED(hr)) {
std::cout << "Could not connect. Error code = 0x" << std::hex << hr << std::endl;
pLoc->Release();
CoUninitialize();
return hr; // Program has failed.
}
std::cout << "Connected to WMI" << std::endl;
}

Trying to retrieve the manufacturer and model fields

I have other code to identify the CPU and RAM and clock speed, but those came from registry calls. This WMI is not something I have much experience with.
