microsoft.public.windowsxp.wmi

The XP-specific room for Windows Management Instrumentation: repository corruption and its ritual repairs, WMI filters for Group Policy, scripting the Win32_* classes, and the divergences between XP and Server 2003 that consumed administrator afternoons.
Like the rest of microsoft.public.*, it ran on msnews.microsoft.com with MVPs answering until the 2010 retirement to web forums.
