WMI

IT Asset Management (Cloud)

Command line | Registry

When WMI is set to True, the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) tracking is specified as the preferred option for tracking hardware. In this case, if WMI is not available (and the Hardware preference is set to True), the tracker (ndtrack executable) attempts to track hardware using a native API.

When set to False, the tracker uses another tracking mechanism instead of WMI.

This preference is ignored for UNIX-like platforms.
