WMI Cheatsheet? [closed]

Question

Is there a cheatsheet available for WMI? Like what can be queried, where to query it from?

Answer 1

There's a ton of information available to query. I think that the best way is just to enumerate everything and have a look.

Try Microsoft's WMI Code Creator application. It helps you build queries in a few languages, so is sort of an interactive cheatsheet.

I also remember finding the "wbemtest" application useful.

I think it's included with Windows, so try Start > Run > wbemtest.

Answer 2

I have found WMI Explorer very helpful in finding classes and methods-- it's a lot more elegant than WEBMtest

Answer 3

You can use WMI Browser in the WMI administrative tools. You can search for the classes, query the classes etc.
