WMI Tools is a free toolkit from AdRem Software designed to access WMI information. It includes views for general info, processes, services, event log, hardware, operating systems and a WMI explorer for defining and using custom WMI queries. The 2.0.35 version of SAPIEN WMI Explorer 2014 is available as a free download on our website. The following version: 2.0 is the most frequently downloaded one by the program users. The most frequent installation filename for the software is: WMI Explorer 2014.exe. The program lies within System Utilities, more precisely File Managers.
WMI stands for Windows Management Instrumentation, and represents the implementation of WBEM (Web-Based Enterprise Management), an innovative technology that lets you control and monitor managed resources via network. These resources include file systems, hard drives, processes, OS settings, shares, services, network components, registry settings, users, event logs, groups, and many others.
WMI enables you to also monitor various performance counters. Microsoft application come with integrated WMI capabilities.
WMI Explorer is an application which lets you see the complete set of WMI objects, management classes, and properties. The utility allows you to effortlessly browse through settings and objects on remote computers. Any WQL query can be executed and the program will display the result set for you.
WMI Explorer can be used as a standalone application. You can also use as an auxiliary tool for HostMonitor.
- WMI Explorer 2.0 As someone who works with Configuration Manager (SCCM), I spend a lot of time in wbemtest trying to find things which is very time consuming. I started this project with the intention to combine the features of currently available WMI Explorers, and to make it easier and quicker to find what you're looking for in WMI.
- This is part three of a three part series of articles covering two great WMI tools, the second and final tool being WMI Explorer. WMI Explorer v1.10 is another lightweight (at 533KB), portable tool. To demonstrate its abilities I need to use WMI to find something I don’t already know and without.
- Nov 11, 2014 When I worked in support, I troubleshot WMI quite bit using many tools. One tool I still keep my eye on with regards to ongoing development was – and still is – the WMI Explorer utility. I am happy to report a new version of an excellent troubleshooting tool for WMI is now available: WMI Explorer.

This is part three of a three part series of articles covering two great WMI tools, the second and final tool being WMI Explorer.
WMI Explorer v1.10 is another lightweight (at 533KB), portable tool. To demonstrate its abilities I need to use WMI to find something I don’t already know and without using any books or the web. My example is to list the games I have installed and the path. The first step is to connect to a different namespace, as in the screenshot below.

WMI Explorer - Connecting to different namespaces
The interface lets you click on the open book icon to open a browse window, or you can just type directly into the namespace field if you already know what you want. You can also enter security credentials if you need to.
Clicking OK takes you to the main screen.
Browsing the 'game' class with WMI Explorer
I want to see what properties exist for the “game” class, so selecting “game” in the top window queries the machine and gives you live results in the bottom left window. The right-hand window obviously lists the properties at your disposal. Note, the query field defaults to the favourite “select * from”. I did not type that string, WMI Explorer wrote it for me. Clicking 'Execute' reveals the answer to my example, in figure 7.

So, now you can the list of games in the name column and thus see my taste in games but that’s not quite the end of the story. You can now fine tune your WMI query and potentially speed it up. Note the time in the status bar at the bottom of figure 6, as 0.11 seconds.
The Win32_Volume class, Vista or later
Whilst this is just a basic example the issue of efficient queries is vital if you intend to run a script on machines remotely. Owing to the sheer wealth of data that WMI provides, the results can quickly get out of control. For example the trivial task of scanning machines for how much disk space they have left is easy using the win32_Volume (figure 8).

However it has 44 properties, so even running on 100 machines will scale up to 4400 properties. Rather than query everything with the crude use of “*” you can be more selective and choose only the properties you want. You probably know you achieve this using either the “where” clause or specifying explicit properties alone. Figure 9 shows just the name and path of the games on this machine. Note the time is now only 0.08 seconds.
A more efficient WMI query, perhaps

Using the two tools will make your job easier at the very least, but better still will help you to not upset the network team by dragging all the obscure WMI properties you don’t need over the LAN or worse over a low bandwidth and expensive leased line.
