What is WMI?
WMI is the acronym for Windows Management Instrumentation. This is an API in the Windows operating system that enables devices and systems in a network, typically enterprise networks, to be managed and controlled. Utilizing CIM (Common Information Model, an industry standard, for describing data about applications and devices) WMI allows network administrators to query and set information on workstations, applications and networks. The Codima Discovery Engine uses the query functions only. The Discovery Engine uses WMI to obtain information on Microsoft devices. To obtain this information the discovery engine must be run from a Domain Administrator account and will identify all the Windows 2000 (SP4 or later), XP and 2003 machines logged on that Domain.
