Post subject:  ConnectServer() fails on older systems (audit.vbs)

On some Windows systems, the ConnectServer() reports an invalid parameter
error if wbemConnectFlagUseMaxWait is used. A workaround is to retry the
ConnectServer() operation without the parameter when an error occurs.

In Audit.vbs, I would suggest changing code like this:
[code]
Set objSWbemServices = objSWbemLocator.ConnectServer(strComputer, "root\cimv2", strUser, strPass, "", "", wbemConnectFlagUseMaxWait)
[/code]
To this:
[code]
Const wbemErrInvalidParameter = &H80041008
[...]
On Error Resume Next
Set objSWbemServices = objSWbemLocator.ConnectServer(strComputer, "root\cimv2", strUser, strPass, "", "", wbemConnectFlagUseMaxWait)
If Err.Number = wbemErrInvalidParameter Then
' The flag wbemConnectFlagUseMaxWait apparently is not supported on all systems...
Set objSWbemServices = objSWbemLocator.ConnectServer(strComputer, "root\cimv2", strUser, strPass, "", "", 0)
End If
[/code]
