We are in process of enabling power management in bigfix. The though process is that we have several student labs that are using Microsoft’s Steadystate Product. We want to point all of these machines to BigFix for patch management, but need assistance on the configuration part.
The basic premise is to turn the computers on at a designated time, run all the patches as part of a baseline, and in the end, retain all of the changes into the Hard Disk Protection. In looking over the internet, there are some VBScripts that make use of WMI to enable the “retain changes” feature. I have tested the following VBScript against STeady State and it works.

For Each objWdp In setWdpObjects

If Err.Number 0 Then
Wscript.echo “FAILURE”

End If

How can I create a relevance expression to see if the the Disk protection is enabled or not using WMI.
Thanks,
