WMI Explorer 2.0.0.2 (Archive)

✨ This version is replaced by https://github.com/vinaypamnani/wmie

WMI Explorer is a utility intended to provide the ability to browse and view WMI namespaces/classes/instances/properties in a single pane of view and is inspired by the PowerShell based WMI Explorer written by Marc.

As someone who works with Configuration Manager (SCCM), I spend a lot of time in wbemtest trying to find things which is very time consuming. I started this project with the intention to combine the features of currently available WMI Explorers, and to make it easier and quicker to find what you're looking for in WMI.

Requirements

• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 Full or .NET Framework 4.5.1
• Minimum display resolution: 1024x768
• Administrator rights to view some WMI objects
• (Optional) Internet access for automatic update check

Features

• Browse and view WMI objects in a single pane of view.
• Connect as alternate credentials to remote computers.
• Asynchronous and Synchronous mode for enumeration.
• Method execution.
• SMS (Configuration Manager) mode providing additional functionality for Configuration Manager.
• Filter classes and instances matching specified criteria.
• View classes/instances in Managed Object Format (MOF).
• Search classes, methods and properties for names matching specified criteria.
• Run WQL queries.
• Automatic generation of WQL query for the selected Class/Instance.
• Automatic script creation (PowerShell and VBS).
• Highlighting enumerated objects.
• Display property descriptions and possible enumeration values (if available).
• Display methods descriptions and parameters.
• Display embedded property values.
• Caching enumerated classes/instances.
• View WMI Provider Process Information.
• Automatic check for new version.

Known Issues

• Asynchronous mode currently applies only for Class and Instance enumeration. Search and Query execution is synchronous.
• Cached instance is not updated after clicking on ‘Refresh Object’.
• root\directory\LDAP namespace is excluded from Search because enumeration of objects in this namespace can take a very long time and can even return "Quota Violation" error.
• Scripting: PowerShell script execution through WMI Explorer requires PowerShell v2.
• Method Execution: Methods requiring input parameters of Object or Reference data type are currently not supported.
