WMI Explorer
WMI Explorer is a small utility that provides the ability to browse and view WMI namespaces/ classes/instances/properties in a single pane of view. It helps the IT Pro search for the desired classes or instances when he wants to manipulate the WMI.
One example for this use is when you need to design/implement a kill process script in the logic of the installation. To kill a process, you must use the Win32_Process class, which is present in the ROOT\ CIMV2 namespace, to enumerate all the instances. If the name of the process is found in the instance, you can terminate it.
