Whats winMgmt?

[The PIT]

This comes up in the event viewer on my server as an error. It's down as a service but what does it do?

[arbymo]

it's Windows Management Instrumentation WMI.
according to MS it's used to monitor, control and manage windows. http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sdks/wmi/eula.asp ..
click on the 1st link inthat page to goto the wmi sdk page
also u can look at this topic in the forum http://forums.murc.ws/ubb/Forum3/HTML/002331.html
