10.3.4  WMI 
Support for Windows Management Instrumentation 
Windows Management Instrumentation is a basic Windows administration technique 
that uses script and programming languages to allow read and write access, both local 
and remote, to settings on Windows systems. AntiVir Server supports WMI and provides 
data (status information, statistical data, reports, planned requests, etc.) as well as 
events and methods (stopping and starting processes) at an interface. WMI enables you 
to download operating data from AntiVir Server and to control AntiVir Server . You can 
request a complete reference guide to the WMI interface from the AntiVir Server 
manufacturer. The reference file is available in PDF format when you sign a 
confidentiality agreement.
