Title: Understanding WMI Scripting (+files) Author(s): Alain Lissoir Pages: 580 Publisher: Digital Press Publication date: 2003 Language: English Format: CHM ISBN-10: 1555582664 ISBN-13: Description: This resource explains to Windows and Exchange Administrators how they can use the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) scriptable technology available in these products to ease their day-to-day management tasks.
Understanding WMI Scripting is the first book of two dedicated to
Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). This first book explains to
Windows Administrators the various WMI scripting techniques available
to ease their day-to-day management tasks. Under Windows Server 2003,
Microsoft made solid enhancements in WMI. This dramatically extends
the scripting and manageability capabilities of this new Windows
platform. Illustrated with more than a hundred samples, this book
explains the underlying technology and how the WMI can be put to work.
Alain focuses not only on the WMI programming aspects for developers
but on how administrators can use what is available in Windows for
their admin work. WMI is a very important topic under Windows Server
2003, so this book provides real added value to Windows
administrators. Once you have completed reading and practicing the
first volume, you will be ready to discover and apply your WMI
knowledge to any technology that WMI interfaces with. This may include
things like managing SNMP devices, monitoring Active Directory
replication or configuring the security in a Windows environment. This
is the aim of the second book entitled Leveraging Windows Management
Instrumentation (WMI) Scripting. This book addresses the most advanced
WMI topics to put WMI in practice and therefore requires a good WMI
and Windows platform experience. Based on the information learned in
the first volume, you will see how you can exploit the features
brought by various WMI interfaces to manage the real-world environment
components.
