WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) is a component of the Microsoft operating system that allows you to monitor virtually every piece of the system (either locally or remotely) as well as control the windows operating system. This technology is particularly useful to professionals such as system administrators and database administrators who need to monitor and change client machines on a daily basis.
WMI is a powerful interface that can be used to monitor event logs, check disk space, or monitor peripherals. Through .NET, implementing WMI becomes a lot easier through Server Explorer Extensions and the System.Management and System.Management.Instrumentation interfaces. If you use WMI remotely, you may need to enable some security settings in the WMI properties window using the Computer Management Console. Have fun experimenting with WMI, another instrument at your disposal in .NET.
