Resources on WMI and Scripting

Goto the MOM Home Page

I am having a problem understanding how to create a WMI Event Rule and setting up a WMI Performance counter. The documentation is not clear for me regarding what steps to use for either instance. I am new to MOM and Scripting.

From the microsoft.public.mom newsgroup
A great reference for WMI rules is the Application Center 2000 Management Pack that is part of the Application Pack. They create a ton of WMI providers that are a pretty good reference.

There is a three part WMI primer on www.microsoft.com/scripting, but that is as WMI relates specifically to scripting. You don't necessarily have to write a script to take advantage of WMI. Still, the primer might provide some good information.

You might also check Scriptomatic (get from www.microsoft.com/scripting) and CIM Studio (I think part of WMI Tools installation). Both are pretty good tools for enumerating the WMI providers you have available on a system and their related properties.
