Relevance for CIM NetConnectionProfile

I find that several WMI queries fail with a provider error, and I suspect it may be that there are not 32-bit providers for some of these properties.

I had a similar post at Windows Firewall - Local Policy vs GPO for looking up the active profile.

The method I’d use is

q: types of profiles of local policies of firewall
A: Public
T: 32.927 ms
I: plural firewall profile type

The simple (ignoring Group Policy) method to see whether the firewall is Active in this profile would be

q: (type of it, firewall enabled of it) of profiles of local policies of firewall
A: Public, True
T: 33.875 ms
I: plural ( firewall profile type, boolean )

The complex method (i.e. handle multiple profiles, handle GPO management of the active profiles), that I’m still hoping to improve & make more readable, is

Q: (type of it as string,(if exists (type of it as string & "Profile", keys of keys "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall" of native registry) whose (item 0 of it = name of item 1 of it and exists value "EnableFirewall" of item 1 of it) then ("GPO" , (exists value "EnableFirewall" whose (it as integer = 1) of item 1 of (type of it as string & "Profile", keys of keys "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall" of native registry) whose (item 0 of it = name of item 1 of it )) as string ) else ("Local" , firewall enabled of it as string))) of profiles of local policies of firewall

A: Domain, ( Local, False )
A: Public, ( GPO, True )
