At the end of the course, students will be able to describe Windows Management Instrumentation and the Common Information Model (CIM); use the WMI Software Developer Kit (SDK) Tools CIM Studio, WMI Event Registration, and WMI Event Viewer; use the SDK documentation to research WMI classes; describe the WMI Scripting API; develop scripts that make local or remote connections to any WMI resources; develop scripts that can efficiently query management data from local or remote resources; develop scripts that can write to WMI local or remote resources; describe the WMI event architecture; develop scripts that can configure, monitor, and implement WMI events; identify how they can apply WMI Scripting API scripts to access future resources that use Windows Management Instrumentation.
