Hi,

I'm currently struggling trying to figure out how to use the -query
parameter with gwmi for namespaces other than "root\cimv2".

Eg.
It's simple enough to do something like:-

>$query = "SELECT * from Win32_Service WHERE name='W32Time'"
>gwmi -query $query

ExitCode : 0
Name : W32Time
ProcessId : 1688
StartMode : Auto
State : Running
Status : OK

but.. what if I want to get data out of "root\securitycenter" and the
"antivirusproduct" class?
I looked on MSDN for WQL but couldn't see any (to me) clear example of
what the syntax should be for such a gwmi statement.

Would appreciate any examples showing how best to construct the WQL to
reference the namespace and class.

Thanks,

Stuart

$query = "SELECT * from antivirusproduct"
gwmi -query $query -namespace root\securitycenter
