WMI OBJECT LIBRARY

[Guest]

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a reference book or web source on the WMI object
library ?

I find this library a convienient alternative to using long Non-Object
-Oriented API based code and therefore I believe it is worth investing the
time learnig .

However the syntax of many of its commands are so odd I really could do with
some proper explanation.

Any suggestions ?

Regards.

Even with references, I find the syntax odd. Perhaps if I had more practice
working with databases and writing queries it would be simpler. It's worth
the effort to struggle through though.

At the bottom of the page is a link to the WMI SDK but I think the quick
links on the right may prove more help since there are scores of example
scripts that generally translate well to VBA if that is your choice.

Track down a copy of WMIAdminTools.exe.
You'll probably get more than you wanted.

There's also a help file called lrnwmi.exe
Sorry no link, but I'm sure you can find it.
