WmiAxon

This tool uses WMI standard for administration of computers and servers.

WMI or the Windows management instrumentation provides a set of extensions that can be built into drivers. This helps provides a common standard way these instrumented components (the drivers) can be queried by the OS and these components can respond with information required to help improve management. Web based enterprise management (WBEM) and Common information model has been implemented by Microsoft with this WMI method. VB script and PowerShell like scripting can help implement management of computers and servers locally or remotely. A command line implementation also is available as WMIC. This is a tool that helps create the necessary queries and report the results for the admin for efficient control of a set of computers and servers. WMI is intended to work with existing management standards, such as Desktop Management Interface (DMI) and SNMP. WMI complements these other standards and provides a uniform model.

WmiAxon is a free program. It lets you manage and access a computer under the Windows system supervision. The computer needs to have WMI services enabled. The administrator will be able to select a WMI class from a list, or create a simple WML query, obtain response(s) and find out how many instances are on the system and their properties. Reports created are available in PDF, XLS, and XML formats. If you need to, these reports could be processed further in other programs. After the utility is launched, you can do a scan to find the computers that have the WMI services enabled. Additional machines can be added manually. You will need to enter their IP address, username and password. This is a good tool

WmiAxon is an utility working as a WMI repository viewer, offering you the ability to manage or access WMI enabled computers. You can launch it and perform a scan on your network in order to determine the compatible machines. Similarly, you can add the target computers manually, by entering their IP address, username and password. WmiAxon enables you to select the preferred WMI classes or execute a WQL query, which in turn will generate a list of 'Instances' and 'Properties'. WmiAxon can issue a report in XML, XLS or PDF format so you can further work with it in other utilities.
