The foundations for Manageability in Windows is Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI; formerly WBEM) and WMI extensions for Windows Driver Model (WDM).

ActiveXperts Network Monitor provides the ability to build monitor check routines based on WMI. ActiveXperts has collected more than a hundred WMI samples. You can use these samples as a base for new check routines you can write yourself. The Win32_ComponentCategory WMI class can be used in ActiveXperts Network Monitor to monitor your servers.

Description

The Win32_ComponentCategory WMI class represents a component category. Component categories are groups of COM classes with a defined functionality set shared between them. A client using these interfaces queries the registry for the category title and unique identifier called CategoryID, which is created from a globally unique identifier (GUID).

Sample Code

$computer = "LocalHost" 
$namespace = "root\CIMV2" 
Get-WmiObject -class Win32_ComponentCategory -computername $computer -namespace $namespace
