WMI locking profile

Hello,

We have written some basic code in VBScript (also in Perl) that talks to WMI
to obtain hardware and printer information. The code works fine when run
manually by a user and returns corrects information. We need to be able to
have the code execute unattended by a service running on Windows 2000 (SP4).
When we do this the profile for the unattended process gets locked as the
WMI instance (SVCHOST.DLL) process does not release something. We have
tried to go through the code and release all variables but are now stuck as
to why this is happening. Is there anything special we need to do to allow
the code to run unattended?

Thank you,

Frank Pikelner
