Vista - Question about WMI from a scripting beginner...

Not only am I new powershell but to scripting in general. Is there a listing
or way to get a listing of all WMI namespaces and classes?

Marco

If you specify the name space it will give you all the classes for the
namespace... that said.

Quote from OP "Not only am I new powershell but to scripting in general."
I think for starting off... Get-WMIObject -List will provide you more than
enough info to start.

From the Help.

-list <SwitchParameter>
Used to indicate that the names of the WMI classes in the WMI repository
namespace specified in the Namespace parameter should be retrieved and
displayed. The Default Namespace registry entry, contained in the registry
key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WBEM\Scripting is not used by this
cmdlet to determine the default names pace. If you specify the List
parameter, but not the Namespace parameter, the root\CIMV2 namespace is used
by default.

There is also CIM studio from WMI Administrative Tools:

I often use it, I think it can be very helpful.
