Visual Basic Script  Copy Code 
Option Explicit

On Error Resume Next

Dim Service
Dim Servers

Set Service = GetObject("winmgmts:root\MicrosoftIdentityIntegrationServer")
Set Servers = Service.ExecQuery("Select * from MIIS_Server1")
For Each Server in Servers
   WScript.Echo "Count of Metaverse Objects = " & Server.NumMvObjects()
