For information on WMI, refer to the Microsoft Platform SDK documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/wmi_start_page.asp?frame=true.
For sample WMI queries, visit the Arcana Development web site.

adTempus does not validate your WMI query settings at the time you save the trigger. To test your query, use the "wbemtest" system utility. If Windows returns an error when adTempus submits your query, adTempus will log an error message to the message log for the job and hold the job until you edit it to correct the query. |
Optional Descriptive Name
Optionally, provide a descriptive name for this trigger. Otherwise, a description will be created automatically based on the query.
Enable this Trigger
If this box is checked, the trigger is enabled and will cause the job to run. If this box is not checked, adTempus will ignore this trigger.
Namespace
Specify the WMI namespace to use.
Query
Specify the WMI query to execute. This must be a valid WMI event query. For information on WMI event queries refer to the Microsoft Platform SDK documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/receiving_event_notifications.asp?frame=true.
Each time the query returns an event, adTempus will trigger the job.
Use a script to select events
adTempus will run the script you specify each time it receives a new event from WMI. The event object will be passed to the script using the Parameters collection. Your script then evaluates the event and sets the global Result variable to True if adTempus should trigger the job, or False if it should not.
Minimum Time Between Triggers
Specify the minimum time (in seconds) that must elapse after this trigger fires before adTempus will fire it again. Once adTempus triggers the job, it will ignore all new events until the specified time has passed.
