Win32-ComponentCategory - WMI VBScript sample

The foundations for Manageability in Windows 2019/2016/2012/2008 and Windows 10/7/XP are 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.

On this site, you can find many WMI samples.

The Win32_ComponentCategory WMI class can be used in ActiveXperts Network Monitor to monitor your servers.


Win32-ComponentCategory

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).
