  • Find computers that have not downloaded and applied new GPOs

WMI Queries:
  • Do a complete hardware inventory (processor, memory, hard disk space, etc) for all computers in the domain
  • Scan all computers to see if a particular hotfix is applied
  • See the amount of disk space that is available on computers
  • Test a WMI filter before implementing it in the domain
