Microsoft Windows XP supports a facility named Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) as a way to manage the computer system. WMI is Microsoft’s implementation of a broader industry standard called Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM). The goal of WMI is to provide a model for system management and the description of management data in an enterprise network that’s as independent as possible from a specific API set or data object model. Such independence facilitates the development of general mechanisms for creating, transporting, and displaying data and for exercising control over individual system components.
