All, Here is the link to the documents about Windows Remote Management (WinRM). http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384426(VS.85).aspx It says: "You can use WinRM scripting objects, the WinRM command-line tool, or the Windows Remote Shell command line tool WinRS to obtain management data from local and remote computers that may have baseboard management controllers (BMCs). If the computer runs a Windows-based operating system version that includes WinRM, the management data is supplied by Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)." Looking at the Remote Management Architecture, it seems to me that as long as the proxy server has a WinRM listener installed, and we provide CIM printer objects to the WMI plugin.  Then on Vista client, we can use the WinRM.cmd command line tool to request and see the collected management data. -Nancy --------------------------------------------------------------- Principal Engineer Solutions and Technology Oki Data Mt.
