Ah yes, my misunderstanding. Thanks for pointing out.

I imagine you're right. Hopefully my example gave
a way of doing that, but I'll just repost slightly
here:

<code>
import wmi
c = wmi.WMI ()
sid_number = "whatever"
group = c.Win32_Group (SID=sid_number)
#
# and then as before, using group.associators (...)
#

</code>

Well, not that I disagree with you as such, but it depends
on what exactly your "all this" encompasses. ;)

Nearly all of the questions to the list about WMI are
really WMI questions, and not Python or Python/WMI
specific. This one was a bit different because the
answer relied somewhat on the workings of the wmi
module.

If you're after WMI info in general, msdn is the place
I start for simple "How do I use this class?" or
"What are the methods / parameters for this
class?" queries:

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/pnppwr/wmi/defa
ult.mspx

Then it's down to the Google Group:

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft
.public.win32.programmer.wmi?lnk
=lr

or any one of the myriad other resources and examples
around the internet:

http://www.google.com/search?q=wmi+enumerate+group+mem
bers

If it's specifics about the Python wmi module, then
obviously I *do* have to bow my head in shame somewhat
and admit that my fledgeling tutorial is taking a *very*
long time to come up with.

Meanwhile, though, there is the cookbook on my site,
which does at least give a certain range of examples:

http:
//timgolden.me.uk/python/wmi_cookbook.html

I generally try to use the questions to the list
as the starting point for cookbook "recipes". I'll
try to put this one in.
