WMI Code Generator
Version 2.02
| Use this HTA to generate Batch, JScript, KiXtart, Object Rexx, Perl, PowerShell, Python or VBScript code for menu selected WMI queries. |
 |
| First select a class. The "Properties" and "Methods" fields will show the names of the properties and methods available for the selected class. To get detailed information on a class or a method or property, select that class and method/property, and click the "Help" button. This will open an Internet Explorer window with the relevant MSDN page, or if that page doesn't exist, a list of Google Search results. Next click one of the "Create ... Code" buttons to generate the code that will display all properties of the selected class, and their values, in the scripting language of your choice. Then copy the code to the clipboard, and paste it into your favorite scripting editor. After some optional "pruning", save your own custom WMI script. |

this
