Instrumentation, WMI & security

[A Mackie]

The Application Architecture for .Net book discusses adding
instrumentation to applications so that operations staff can monitor
what is happening. That is use WMI, via
System.Management.Instrumentation namespace, or possibly the Enterprise
Instrumentation Framework. However, does this pose a security risk for
ASP.NET applications and web services ? I've heard that adding
instrumentation requires full trust.

Also, if WMI is used, then does DCOM raise it's ugly head again ?

Thanks,
Andy Mackie.
