KIWI - Kixtart Interogation of WMI Instances

Download script - 4KB

Was working on this script a little while ago (while building the ListView object) and kinda put this aside for a while ... and not really planning on developing it any further. Just thought I would post it at this point. Had alot of fun running this script on different machines. Checking out all the different WMI classes and all the various settings.

Its called KIWI - Kixtart Interogation of WMI Instances and it works like follows:

1) Enumerates all WIN32_ wmi classes into the left side list pane.

2) When a class is clicked with the mouse, the script enumerates all the known instances of that class (on your wkstn) into the top right hand pane.

3) When an instance is clicked with the mouse, the current actual settings for each instance is enumerated into the bottom, right hand property view.

WARNING PLEASE ! This script is harmless - it only reads and browses WMI classes and instances ... but, it also can demonstrate how much of a PIG WMI can be when enumerating certain classes - when enumerating some of the logical file and file system relating stuff, and maybe some of the Account relates stuff, the enumeration can take so long that one has to end up restarting the workstation. No harm done - just WMI being well ... WMI ... [Wink]
