WMI reference

NetworkElf

It looks as if I'm going to be using WMI quite a bit in the near fututre.
I'm wondering what reference and reading materials people here have found
useful. All suggestions appreciated.

thanks,

The chapters in the MSDN Library about WMI, especially the WMI classes
('Win32_*'), and the 'System.Management' namespace in the .NET Framework's
class library.

While it's not directly related to .Net, you should also download
Scriptomatic (got it from MS somewhere). I find it very helpful to figure
out what properties are available and return what values. I'm sure you can
find it with Google.
