Book will give you examples of utilizing WMI together with PowerShell. It has nice examples to trigger your mind into realizing what cool things you can do with WMI. I highly recommend just exploring Google for examples of PowerShell WMI examples but this book has some that you might not find online, which may not even that big of a deal.
