This is particularly useful in the fan-out scenario where developers can write applications to monitoren-USCommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)http://blogs.msdn.com/wmi/archive/2009/06/27/wmi-improving-your-wmi-application-performance-in-fan-out-scenario.aspx#9809645Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:42:49 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9809645BrianD<p>Is there a way to &quot;hold&quot; the connection when using VBscript and/or PowerShell? &nbsp;Thx...</p>http://blogs.msdn.com/wmi/archive/2009/06/27/wmi-improving-your-wmi-application-performance-in-fan-out-scenario.aspx#9810321Wed, 01 Jul 2009 07:08:59 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9810321hangc<p>In VBScript, you can reuse the SWbemLocator object to achieve higher performance when connecting to the same remote WMI namespace.

In the managed code world, you can reuse the ManagementScope object. HTH</p>
