UPDATE : Get WMI Query v1.6 Now Released
You can use WMI for various things but one of its uses is for identifying the model name of a machine so that it can be later used for Configuration Manager OSD or maybe even for Group Policy WMI security.
To find out the model name of a machine using WMI, simply follow the guide below:
- Go into a command prompt
- Type in WMIC ComputerSystem GET Model
- Go into a command prompt
- Type in WMIC ComputerSystem GET Manufacturer
Again, this should then tell you the make of the machine you are on.
To make this a much easier process though, we have now released a small standalone utility called Get WMI Query which you can run on any machine and it will give you a full range of WMI information and queries based upon the machine you run it on.
To get this utility, simply click the link at the top of this post.
