About WMI Object get-wmiobject

1. What is a WMI Object

Windows Management Instrumentation (Wmi) is the core technology of Windows system management, because it can publish various types of information in a unified manner.

In the process of learning powershell, we often see some commands or scripts for WMI, but we still don't know which operations can be performed by WMI.

The following describes some examples of related problems.

2. Get-wmiobject

First, we need to know that our windows computer supports the available WMI classes.

We can see that there are about thousands of classes. What information can these classes obtain?

Note: When you use get-wmiobject to connect to a remote computer, the remote computer must run WMI and, under the default configuration, your account must be a member of the local administrator group on the remote computer. Windows powershell does not need to be installed on the remote system. Therefore, you can manage operating systems that do not run Windows powershell but Use WMI.

4. View computer memory information
