Check Computer

This command attempts to connect to a remote computer through WMI, which is the protocol used by InstallAware Direct Deploy Technology.

Computer Name

Enter the name of the computer to look for here. Ensure the target computer firewall is correctly enabled.

Timeout (seconds)

Specify the number of seconds to wait for the remote computer to respond. A value of 0 will use the default WMI timeout, which may be too lengthy for large corporate networks.

It is suggested that you enter a custom timeout value between 2 to 10 seconds to ensure that the command does not unnecessarily stall your installation.

Return Result in Variable

Enter an existing or new variable name in this field. The variable will hold TRUE if the named computer is enabled for WMI, FALSE otherwise.
