he wants to check for the service "Windows Management Instrumentation" to see if it is running.

if you run this.

shell '%comspec% /c net start | find /i "Windows Management Instrumentation" > nul'

and are depending on FIND's setting of the @error to determin if "Windows Management Instrumentation" is running or not. you will get a false positive if "Windows Management Instrumentation Driver Extensions" is running and "Windows Management Instrumentation" is not running.

the FIND command will find both of these....
