PART I
WMI for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager administrators

In Configuration Manager, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) plays a major role in storing site-specific and client-related management information. The two chapters in Part I of this book are designed to familiarize you with basic WMI concepts and tools, show you how to use WMI classes to create Configuration Manager queries, and help you understand the underlying database design of Configuration Manager so you can create custom reports for querying the information you need.
