Hi Rainer,

I have just checked the remote query and it works great except for one thing.
It seems that the queryMode does not update the host os attributes.

Example command line:
cscript.exe -Nologo "\\vboxsrv\Stefan_Win7\Downloads\WPKG\WPKG Server\wpkg.js" /query:ms
/settings:"\\vboxsrv\Stefan_Win7\Downloads\WPKG\ClientStatus\vm-winxp.xml" /queryMode:remote

Output:
Host information attributes from settings database:
    hostname:           vm-winxp
    architecture:       x86
    os:                 microsoft windows xp professional, , sp3, 5.1.2600
    ipaddresses:        10.0.2.15
    domainname:
    groups:
    lcid:               409
    lcidOS:             409

The upgrade is correct, but the remove actions apply to the local host, where the query is executed.

Host information attributes from local host:
    hostname:           vm-win2k
    architecture:       x86
    os:                 microsoft windows 2000 professional, , sp4, 5.0.2195
    ipaddresses:        10.0.2.15
    domainname:
    groups:
    lcid:               c07
    lcidOS:             407

If you need the complete configuration, I will send it to you.
