ActiveXperts Network Monitor provides the ability to build monitor check routines based on WMI. ActiveXperts has collected more than a hundred WMI samples. You can use these samples as a base for new check routines you can write yourself. The Win32_OperatingSystem WMI class can be used in ActiveXperts Network Monitor to monitor your servers.

Description

The Win32_OperatingSystem WMI class represents an operating system installed on a Win32 computer system. Any operating system that can be installed on a Win32 system is a descendent (or member) of this class. If the computer has multiple operating systems installed, this class returns only an instance for the currently active operating system.

Sample Code

$computer = "LocalHost" 
$namespace = "root\CIMV2" 
Get-WmiObject -class Win32_OperatingSystem -computername $computer -namespace $namespace
