WMS WMI Event Handler plug-in

By enabling this plug-in, you can receive seamless and secure notification of all internal server events through Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) for either a local or remote computer. With WMI, you can use a single, consistent, standards-based, extensible, and object-oriented interface to manage the Windows operating system.

The WMS WMI Event Handler is enabled at the server level by default.

Note

• This plug-in is responsible for communicating event information between the Windows Media Services service and other services and programs. Changing the reported events can cause issues with client programs, including the Windows Media Services snap-in and Windows Media Services Administrator for the Web.
