SWbemObject.GetObjectText_ method
The GetObjectText_ method of the SWbemObject object returns a textual rendering of the object. This object can be used to display an object's contents. Currently, only the MOF syntax is supported as an output format. Notice that the MOF text returned does not contain all the information about the object; the MOF text contains only enough information for the MOF compiler to be able to re-create the original object. For instance, there is no information about the propagated qualifiers or the parent class properties.
For an explanation of this syntax, see Document Conventions for the Scripting API.

The following code retrieves and displays the textual representation of a WMI class definition in MOF (Managed Object Format) syntax.
strComputer = "."
strNameSpace = "root\cimv2"
strClass = "Win32_Service"
Const wbemFlagUseAmendedQualifiers = &h20000
Set objClass = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _
strComputer & "\" & strNameSpace)
Set objClass = objWMIService.Get(strClass, wbemFlagUseAmendedQualifiers)
strMOF = objClass.GetObjectText_
WScript.Echo strMOF
