Chapter 3. Examining the Filesystem with WMI
Having spent the first two chapters introducing the core WMI concepts and the basics of the VBScript programming language, we will now start putting it all to work. In this chapter, we will investigate the fundamentals of the Windows 2000 filesystem as seen from a WMI perspective. More importantly, we will use the filesystem to investigate how WMI works in a real computing environment. You will see how the various components of WMI fit together, how WMI objects are related to each other, and how VBScript can be used to control them.
