We have a .NET project that uses WMI and are interested in porting it to the Mono framework.
It appears Mono does not support WMI.
Are there any libraries that can add WMI support?
Basically we would want to access a Windows server using WMI from a Linux/OS X box.
Windows Management Instrumentation is a Microsoft implementation of WBEM (Web-Based Enterprise Management).
There are open-source implementations (eg openPegasus) that you might be able to use a client, but there’s no telling what MS did with their version. If you can send CIM queries to the server, then you may get good results.
Note that Windows doesn’t do WMI over http, only DCOM/DCE-RPC, so some clients will just not work. A quick google.. and OpenPegasus will allow you to access Windows using a WMI Mapper. If not, you could always run the server component on Windows.
