WMI Informant

WMI Informant uses the capabilities of the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) standard to retrieve system information for both local and remote machines in the same network. The application is very practical, making it possible for network administrators to immediately find out configuration data and functioning parameters for each workstation.
The WMI infrastructure is used by developers to create advanced applications that automate administrative tasks or are used for performing system queries and data management operations. WMI Informant gives you a helping hand in getting informed about the WMI classes and extracting data concerning various system configuration areas.
Its interface is neatly organized and using it shouldn't pose any problem. However, the information it retrieves is mainly dedicated to advanced users and programmers, since a solid knowledge base is required for understanding the significance of each class.
The range of data that can be retrieved using WMI Informant is impressing. It can get data concerning CIM classes, MSFT configurations, WMI providers, registry events, software licensing operations, Win32 classes (for accounts, applications, battery, BIOS, cache memory, CDROM drive, codecs, COM applications, power management events, desktop monitoring and actions, keyboard, logical disks, memory array, motherboard etc.), formatted and raw data or WMI extensions.
As complex this information looks, as easy is to obtain it. The host name must be entered in the dedicated field (localhost for your PC) and the application can extract the WMI classes. Once you select a class from the drop-down list, its properties are neatly displayed within the main window. The extracted information can be saved to your computer for later reference with just a few clicks.
WMI Informant is an intuitive tool intended for network administrators and developers who want to perform WMI queries. It is more than just a simple system information extractor, as its practical use extends to programming.
