If you don't have a use for it then it is useless for you. If you do have a
use for it then it can be very useful.

There is an abuncance of information about "Windows Management
Instrumentation" (WMI) and the corresponding industry standard "Web-Based
Enterprise Management" (WBEM). The Windows SDK documentation is at:

WMI can be very useful for developers, including script developers. It is
often easy to write a simple script htat is very useful. The "Script Center"
has samples and tutorials in which many use WMI; see:

In there is the "WMI Scripting Primer" that should be useful; see:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr..._overview.mspx

You should search for information such as that and read some of it before
asking for help. Asking general questions such as "Is it useful?" assumes
that volunteers will be eager to repeat for you what is already easily
available to you.
