newby to wmi

[Guest]

Ok, at the risk of being flamed for being a complete obliviot, here goes.
I am new to the whole scripting/ wmi usage. I have read lots of articles
that tell me WMI information can be accessed using a simple command "get
wmiobject" then you give the command the class name. Here is the question,
What are the available classes??? I can't find a list of them anywhere. For
instance what if i want installed software what is the class? Is there a
listing anywhere for this information. Thank you for the help

Download the Microsoft Scriptomatic. This is probably the easiest tool
to browse available namespaces.

Or some scripting editors, like PrimalScript, also have WMI wizards
which will help.
