  1. Can we pass "pAuthInfo" parameter (providing domain, username and credentials) to "CoSetProxyBlanket" for local computer call?
  2. Basically, can we execute WMI query on local computer using particular user credentials?
  3. Getting confuse for this. Because one page is saying "On the local machine you cannot specify an authentication service for calls to WMI" ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/wmisdk/setting-the-security-on-iwbemservices-and-other-proxies ) But the same is not mentioned on "CoSetProxyBlanket" page ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/combaseapi/nf-combaseapi-cosetproxyblanket )

  Could you please provide input on this?
