WMI Explorer 2.0 - including Powershell Code generation

While working with PowerShell you come sometimes to situations you need to control something on the machine not reachable right out of the box. So WMI is the answer to your question. Lots of things you can only trigger by WMI through PowerShell when it comes to automation also in combination with SCCM.

The main pain point is how to find the right thing at the right place. And then how to bring it into a PowerShell query. For both questions an easy answer is WMI Explorer.
