Purpose

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is the infrastructure for management data and operations on Windows-based operating systems. You can write WMI scripts or applications to automate administrative tasks on remote computers but WMI also supplies management data to other parts of the operating system and products, for example System Center Operations Manager, formerly Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM), or Windows Remote Management (WinRM).

Where applicable

WMI can be used in all Windows-based applications, and is most useful in enterprise applications and administrative scripts.System administrators can find information about using WMI at the TechNet ScriptCenter, and in various books about WMI. For more information, see Further Information.

Developer audience

WMI is designed for programmers who use C/C++, the Microsoft Visual Basic application, or a scripting language that has an engine on Windows and handles Microsoft ActiveX objects. While some familiarity with COM programming is helpful, C++ developers who are writing applications can find good examples for getting started at Creating a WMI Application Using C++.To develop managed code providers or applications in C# or Visual Basic .NET using the .NET Framework, see WMI in .NET Framework.The WMI Software Developer Kit (SDK) is available as a download that includes documentation at the Download Center. The WMI Redistributable Components version 1.0 file, is required only for Windows 2000 and is available to download at the same location.WMI functionality introduced in the Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 2 (SP2) operating system is also available to earlier operating systems by downloading the .NET Framework SDK, and the .NET Framework Redistributable. These can be obtained at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa731542.aspx.

Run-time requirements

For more information about which operating system is required to use a specific API element or WMI class, see the Requirements section of each topic in the WMI documentation.If an expected component appears to be missing, see Operating System Availability of WMI Components.

Where direct link for download Windows Management Instrumentation SDK?[tfl - 07 06 09] Hi - and thanks for your post. You should post questions like this to the MSDN Forums at http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn or the MSDN Newsgroups at http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/. You are much more likely get a quicker response using the forums than through the Community Content. For specific help about:Visual Studio : http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=usenet%3Dmicrosoft.public.vstudio%2C&.NET Framework : http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=usenet%3Dmicrosoft.public.dotnet.frameworkAll Public : http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=usenet%3Dmicrosoft.public%2C&awlva kumar11/2/2011

PowerShell, WMI and Administrators

As noted earlier on this page, WMI is primarily a developer tool although in many cases (eg SCCM and OCS) it can be used as an admin tool. With PowerShell, it is much easier to access WMI as a useful tool for the IT administrator. PowerShell's Get-WMI cmdlet enables you to retreive information for a local or remote WMI repository.To illustrate this use of WMI, a number of the WMI classes have PowerShell samples - search for the tags "PowerShell WMI Code" to find them.I'm not sure why the previous author considers WMI as a "developer tool". What I will say is that its the most un-intrusive and powerful way to manage systems running 24/7. Its like hot-wiring a car without laying a hand on the car.Having WMI classes in Powershell as far as I'm concerned is the only reason to bother with Powershell. The rest of the Powershell functionality can be operated with GUIs and MMC aplets.بريق ألالماس8/4/2011

TopicDescriptionBoot Configuration Data WMI ProviderThe Boot Configuration Data (BCD) Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) provider provides programmatic access to BCD stores, which describe boot applications and boot application settings.Group PolicyGroup Policy enables policy-based administration using Microsoft Active Directory directory services. Group Policy uses directory services and security group membership to provide flexibility and support extensive configuration information.Microsoft Management Console (MMC)Microsoft Management Console (MMC) provides a simple, consistent, and integrated administration user interface and administration model.NetShellNetShell is a command line based tool that enables administrators to remotely administer and configure critical network services.Settings Management InfrastructureSettings Management Infrastructure (SMI) provides a standardized infrastructure to access and manipulate settings that are modifiable by users and applications.Software Licensing APIThe Software Licensing API (SLAPI) can be used to determine a genuine Microsoft Windows installation, install and log an asset management license, and retrieve information about the licensing policy of a software component.System RestoreSystem Restore automatically monitors and records key system changes on a user's computer. It is designed to reduce support costs and increase customer satisfaction by enabling a user to undo a change that may have caused a problem with the system, or revert to a day when the system was performing optimally.System ShutdownThe system shutdown functions and messages allow applications to log off the current user, shut down the system, or lock the workstation.Task SchedulerThe Task Scheduler enables you to automatically perform routine tasks on a chosen computer. The Task Scheduler does this by monitoring whatever criteria you choose to initiate the tasks (referred to as triggers) and then executing the tasks when the criteria is met.User Access LoggingUser Access Logging (UAL) is a common framework for Windows Server roles to report their respective consumption metrics. This UAL framework is a foundational and critical component of the larger licensing management solution.Windows Deployment ServicesWindows Deployment Services (WDS) is the revised version of Remote Installation Services (RIS). WDS enables the deployment of Windows operating systems. You can use WDS to set up new clients with a network-based installation without requiring that administrators visit each computer or install directly from CD or DVD media.Windows Genuine Advantage APIThe Windows Genuine Advantage API is used to determine whether the Windows operating system that is running on the current system is a genuine copy.Windows Management InstrumentationWindows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is the infrastructure for management data and operations on Windows-based operating systems. You can write WMI scripts or applications to automate administrative tasks on remote computers.Windows PowerShellWindows PowerShell is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language designed especially for system administration. Built on the .NET Framework, Windows PowerShell helps IT professionals and power users control and automate the administration of the Windows operating system and applications that run on Windows.Windows Remote ManagementThe Windows Remote Management (WinRM) is the Microsoft implementation of WS-Management protocol, a standard Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)-based, firewall-friendly protocol that allows hardware and operating systems, from different vendors, to interoperate. The WS-Management protocol specification provides a common way for systems to access and exchange management information across an IT infrastructure.Windows Resource ProtectionWindows Resource Protection (WRP) prevents the replacement of essential system files, folders, and registry keys that are installed as part of the operating system.Windows Server Update ServicesSystem administrators can use the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) API to determine which updates apply to a computer or group of computers, download those updates, and install them with little or no user intervention.Independent software vendors and end-user developers can integrate WSUS features into computer management or update management software to provide a seamless operating environment.Windows System Assessment ToolHow to use WinSAT to assess the performance characteristics and capabilities of a computer.   Build date: 11/19/2012Did you find this helpful? Yes No
