Hey, Scripting Guy! Probing the Depths of WMI

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is the Microsoft implementation of Web-based Enterprise Management (WBEM)—a technology that lets you access information about the objects in your enterprise environment that have to be managed, such as systems, applications, networks, devices, and other managed components. Not surprisingly, the information is accessible via script and, in this issue, the Scripting Guys both introduce you to the WMI infrastructure and provide some scripts that you’ll find very helpful in learning more about WMI.

You’ll find lots more information about WMI on our site. Here’s just a sample:
