I’m not sure why, but figuring out WMI with Microsoft's resources seems to take forever. I have spent a couple days looking over WMI and trying to figure out how to use it the way I want. I didn’t find any good .NET resources until the 3rd day when I had already started to figure out what I needed. That being said, this is the best resource for .NET and WMI that I have found. www.enterprise-minds.com by Klaus Salchner. He has wonderful examples and the best articles on how to use WMI with .NET.
The one major thing that is missing with WMI are the tools to make it understandable and simple. I know it is mostly for sys admins that do scripting, but it shouldn’t be so difficult to find out how to use it. If anyone has worked with WMI leave us some links or resources of better places to find things.
Here are the resources that I finally found that were useful.
