Monitoring a System with the Windows OS
For systems installed with the Windows OS, you can monitor a number of OS attributes and perform several OS operations:
In part, the attributes monitored are determined by what is supported with the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) remote monitoring capabilities. You must configure the WMI on the system that you want to monitor before you can manage or monitor the Windows OS.
