Is there an editing command available, such as grep in the UNIX environment, to filter reports?
Arkady: No, not that I can think of, directly. Again, you can use XSL language to write a command that will filter it for you; or if you’re looking for some specific properties for WMI, you can use it. You can vary filters to filter a specific property. But if you’re talking about the output report, this is through style sheets. Otto: Next question: What’s the version number of the WMIC that you’ve shown us today? Arkady: The examples I used are examples of the Windows .NET Server product, and this is being distributed to our better customers or our development partners. Examples should be available for all users this fall. As I mentioned, there is no big difference between this version and the Windows XP version, except some enhancements and some bug fixes. Otto: Next question: What are the prerequisites to access a WMI provider like SNMP using WMIC? Are there any simple examples available for this type of scenario? Arkady: If I remember correctly, the SNMP has a different namespace.
