Windows Management Instrumentation Tester overview

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Tester, also called WBEMTest, is a general-purpose tool for viewing and modifying WMI classes, instances, and methods during the development of Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) providers and WMI applications. You can also use WBEMTest to troubleshoot WMI and programs that depend on WMI.

Use WBEMTest to perform the following tasks:

  • Create, enumerate, and delete WMI classes and instances.

  • Execute methods.

  • Run queries.

  • Display the Managed Object Format (MOF) code for classes and instances.

Because WBEMTest acts as an interface to the COM API for WMI, you can also use WBEMTest to check queries, classes, and instances when developing WMI providers and WMI client applications.

The executable file for WBEMTest, Wbemtest.exe, is installed in the WBEM directory of your Windows system directory. On Windows XP systems, this is the %WINDIR%\system32\Wbem folder.

For information about using the command-line interface to WMI, see Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line.

For information about using the WMI Control to configure WMI settings and security on a remote or local computer, see WMI Control Overview.

For information about WMI security, see Managing WMI security.
