If you run net start >services.txt, you will have a textfile that shows all
the services that are running. WM
I should show up as    Windows Management Instrumentation in the list.

Subject: [NF] Is WMI ever disabled?

Does anyone know if WMI is ever fully or partially disabled by corporate
customers, eg. as a way to secure workstations?

I'm trying to figure out how confident one can be about assuming WMI
functionality will be available on real-world 'locked-down' corporate
workstations.

My understanding is that WMI is a critical Windows service so this would
be a highly unlikely occurrence. But I would like to make sure before I
build some functionality that interfaces with WMI vs. the native Windows
API.

Thanks,
Malcolm
