TechNet Webcast: An Ounce of Prevention: An Introduction to WMI Events (Level 200)

 

"Remember the story about the grasshopper and the ant? If so, then you recall how the grasshopper danced and played all summer long while the ant spent her time writing scripts that used WMI events to alert her to potential problems, like servers running low on disk space, services stopping unexpectedly, or files being added or deleted from specified folders. Well, come winter the grasshopper lost his job, tried to rob a store, and is currently serving time in prison. The ant was promoted to CIO, and now she'll get to dance and play all summer long. The moral of the story: unless you have 5-to-10 years to spare, don't be a grasshopper. Watch this webcast, the third of five Scripting Week 2 webcasts, and learn how Microsoft® Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) events can help you monitor and maintain your systems."
