Hello Tales,

At this time there aren't any plans to support WMI on the Compact
Frameworks. Is there a specific piece of functionality from WMI that
you're looking to use on the device?

Thanks,
--Joe

| Anybody know if there are plans to implement WMI in compact framework?
| I read this in an MSDN chat log: "when WMI moves to improve .Net
| managed-code support, we may consider doing so".
| (http://msdn.microsoft.com/chats/embedded/embedded_092602.asp in

| Thanks

It would be nice to have the ~client part. For my projects I don't want the
server/services, but it will be nice to implement it for other people.

Currently I made my own protocol with a local server : ( that transmit wmi
command to the specified computer. Limited command 'hardcoded' for security
reasons.

Examples :

- List process/service on a remote machine/server
- Restart crash services
- Flush print jobs while u r at a meeting


Also, Novell already have support for handheld 'Palm, PocketPC, WinCE'
- Inventory soft/hard
- Software distribution

in the meantime, it will be nice to implement .NET remoting for CF.
