I used WMI way back during the .net 2.0 days. I had to use it coz there was no alternative. But today as we have a lot of functionality in BCL, does it still makes sense to use WMI? Is it supported by MS – Should I use this in my production code?

One of the things I hate about it is that I need to write string query. It is prone to typo errors, no syntax check. I could convert it to C# classes using Management Strongly Typed Class Generator (Mgmtclassgen.exe) but it still takes string arguments as path.

    I would say that the WMI support in PowerShell is a pretty good indicator that WMI still has a future. I use it from time to time for remote administration to perform certain maintenance tasks.
