Windows Management Instrumentation - Development Process

Development Process

Because WMI abstracts the manageable entities with CIM and a collection of providers, the development of a provider implies several steps. The major steps can be summarized as follows:

Step 1 – Create the manageable entity model

  • Define a model
  • Implement the model

Step 2 – Create the WMI Provider

  • Determine the provider type to implement
  • Determine the hosting model of the provider
  • Create the provider template with the ATL wizard
  • Implement the code logic in the provider
  • Register the provider with WMI and the system

Step 3 – Test the provider

Step 4 – Create consumer sample code
