Is there a way to request WMI without using PowerShell or CIM Studio?

Question

I would like to request WMI for WCF overhead, but I would prefer not to use PowerShell or CIM Studio. Any other tools for this (the command line is also cool)?

Answer 1

C: \ Windows \ System32 \ WBEM \ wbemtest.exe

Type wbemtest at the command prompt or on the Start menu to launch this GUI tool.

Edit: Sorry - you didn’t notice what you said about the command line. May be useful nonetheless.

Answer 2

You can try wmic . It works well enough for interactive use, but I prefer to use vbscript for, well, scripts.

Answer 3

You can use VBScript, but I would not recommend it if you are not already familiar with it.

Some examples of using WMI through PowerShell and VBScript can be found here .
