Is there a way to query WMI without using PowerShell or CIM Studio?

Question

I'd like to query WMI for WCF service information, but I'd rather not use PowerShell or the CIM Studio. Any other tools for doing this (command-line is cool too)?

Answer 1

C:\Windows\System32\wbem\wbemtest.exe

Type wbemtest in to a command prompt or the Start Menu to launch this GUI tool.

Edit: Sorry - didn't notice you said command-line specifically. Maybe useful none the less.

Answer 2

You could try wmic. It works well enough for interactive use, but I prefer to use vbscript for, well, scripts.

Answer 3

You could use VBScript, but I would not recommend it unless you are already quite familiar with it.

Some examples of using WMI via both PowerShell and VBScript can be found here.
