What is WMI?

 What is WMI?

WMI stands for Windows Management Instrumentation. Designed by Microsoft, it is an infrastructure for the standardized management of data and information that is device independent. Since Windows 2000, WMI comes preinstalled with Windows operating systems.

WMI is the Microsoft implementation of the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM), which is managed by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF). WBEM sets standards to allow access to data from non-uniform technologies and devices across a standardized architecture. WBEM uses the Common Information Model (CIM) as the schema for defining information about objects.hich both stores files and accepts print jobs from clients and then sends them on to a network-attached printer.
