WMI cheat sheet and link to MSDN documentation

  • Article

WMI team created a useful cheat sheet summarizing what's new in WMI. This is a great reference doc for developers. We are making them available through this blog post - as is. 

 The real documentation is still on MSDN (and it is being regularly updated). Cheat sheets are just a quick reference to get people started.

Some other useful links

    @Oasma: Thanks for the information. But none of that explains the loss of links to the documentation (especially for WQL, eg. where else to find the syntax of "associators of") The comment is on the loss of the documentation... even for maintenance mode technology (as mainstream supported products – eg. Win2k8 R2 – don't support the newer approach).

    Hi, Is there somewhere information about developing a WMI provider in .NET with this last version of the infrastructure? Latest documentation I am able to find is Provider Extension 2.0 for .NET 3.5. Thanks, -Stoimen
