Summary
WMI is a powerful set of interfaces and classes that allow for applications and services.
Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 implements support for these classes and interfaces through COM or through the System.Management namespace.
Take care to consider security when using WMI objects because they can produce unexpected results. Not all properties or methods noted on MSDN are supported by all WMI Objects. Some properties or methods listed in MSDN for WMI Objects do not return any data.
