WMI Object Viewer

WMI Object Viewer is a plain and simple Windows application that comes in handy to all users who want to explore WMI namespaces, their classes, properties and methods. It does not have to be installed and features some basic options that should be easy to figure out.

No installation needed

You can drop the executable file in any part of the hard drive and just click it to run, as well as save it to a pen drive or other type of removable storage unit, in order to directly launch it on any machine with minimum effort. Plus, it does not alter Windows registry settings or create additional files on the disk, so no traces are left behind after its removal.

Simple interface and options

Represented by a single window that shows all options available, the interface is user-friendly and intuitive. You can select a namespace from a drop-down menu, ask the program to find classes, as well as pick a class to view its structure.
WMI Object Viewer lets you explore a list of properties and methods. There are no other notable options provided by this piece of software. Unfortunately, it does not include buttons for copying data to the Clipboard, printing it, or exporting it to file.

Evaluation and conclusion

There were no issues in our tests as far as stability goes, since WMI Object Viewer did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. As expected, it has low impact on PC performance, thanks to the fact that it consumes low CPU and RAM. Although it does not integrate rich features or configuration settings, WMI Object Viewer delivers a fast and simple method for analyzing WMI objects, and it does not require installation.
