FW: Tools for changing WMI namespace ACL's

Hi All,

I'm trying to write some vbscript to assign permissions to the WMI namespace. As I don't possess a comprehensive knowledge of the in's and out's of using the security based structures (__SystemSecurity, SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR etc) I have fallen back to trying to finding some kind of utility that will do all the hard work for me.

Have found one 3rd party util at http://www.bprevalent.com/products/pdacls/. But before thinking about purchasing this tool I thought I would see if anyone knows of a M$ or other free tool that can modify the Discretionary Access Control List (DACL) on Windows Management Instrumentation namespaces.

Thanks !
