GregThompson 0 Posted April 14, 2008 I'm looking to teach myself WMI, can anyone recommend books, websites, etc that I should get in order to teach myself? I'm typically a hands-on learner, and not much for reading about theory, so a book or site where it gives you a basic knowledge is great as well as examples to do, and a comprehensive set of instructions and help, or help files, etc...

I'm pretty slick I think with AutoIT, I been using it for a very long time... just want to expand my knowledge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
