[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]
A namespace's object path is made up of two parts:
<server><namespace>
The <server> portion of the syntax is a double leading backslash followed by the network name of the machine. The <namespace> portion is the object path to the appropriate namespace on that server.
For example, use the following object path to specify the default namespace on the server MyServer:
\\MyServer\Root\Default
To specify the current server, use the pseudonym "\\.":
\\.\Root\Default
Object paths to namespaces are used in calls to IWbemLocator::ConnectServer and IWbemServices::OpenNamespace.
