[RESOLVED] WMI? What good is it?
I have disabled the diskperf on my laptop, and have IIS installed but disabled. Everytime I would reboot, a bunch of error messages would show up in the Event Log.
I finally tracked it down to the Windows Management Instrumentation service. I disabled it, and nothing seems to have happened, other than my laptop boots like a bat out of hell now.
What good is the WMI service? Do I need it for anything? Is there some disadvantage to disabling it that I haven't seen yet?

for the home system it's pretty useless as you already figured out. where this does come into play is in a network environment. on the 2000 resource kit there's a tool called cconnect. with it you can drill into any compatible machine on the network down to the com object level and effect changes on that machine.

you need a cut down version of IIs if you use FrontPage to upload your webpage!
