Active Directory Services Interface (ADSI) - wrapper to WNet... WinAPI functions as well as some system information stuff (users, groups, printers, etc.)
Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) - wrapper to a large number of WMI classes that objectify very nearly everything on your system (BIOS, Hard drives, network adapters, I/O ports, etc.)

Note: The GetObject function was enhanced/corrected in VFP 7 to handle the COM interface (IMoniker) that is needed to instantiate the WMI objects.

owmi = getobject('winmgmts:')

Previous to that, you had to use the following syntax:

oloc = createobject('SWbemScripting.SWbemLocator'
owmi = oloc.ConnectServer()
