It is also possible that I forgot to mention in this guide that before using any tools and solutions unfamiliar to you, it is absolutely necessary to perform a backup. In any case, KB is exploratory in nature and is an alternative to scripts and third-party software. Some of them simply do not want to work with PowerShell and Vbscript and do not want to learn it, because they are used to work with WMIC. But here again, everything depends on the administrators.

The WBEM standard is the successor to the DMI standard (Desktop Management Interface). At the heart of WBEM is the idea of creating a universal monitoring and control interface to various systems and components of a distributed enterprise information environment using an object-oriented ideology and widespread web-based information presentation technologies: XML and HTTP protocols. WMI is an enhanced and adapted Microsoft implementation of the WBEM standard (WebBased Enterprise Management by DMTF Inc). It is worth adding that it has long stepped over the scope of managing only the Windows operating system and allows controlling many other compatible applications.

From the name, it is clear why this technology was created and applied. WMI is Windows Management Instrumentation.
