Description
Understanding WMI Scripting explains to Windows and Exchange Administrators how they can use the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)
scriptable technology available in these products to ease their day-to-day management tasks. Under Windows.NET and Exchange 2000 (SP2),
Microsoft is making solid enhancements in WMI. This will dramatically extend the scripting and manageability capabilities of Windows
and Exchange. Illustrated with more than three hundred samples, the book links practical problems encountered by administrators to applicable
scriptable solutions. Lissoir focuses not on MI programming aspects for developers but on how administrators can use what is available
in Windows and Exchange for their admin work. WMI is a very important topic under Windows.NET and Exchange 2000 (SP2), so this book provides
real added value to Windows/Exchange administrators. Although Exchange relies on Windows, no other book combines coverage of Windows
and Exchange.
Audience:
System administrators; Windows 2000 consultants developing solutions for customers. Also Windows application developers
