WMI in SCCM
ConfigMgr uses WMI extensively for both client and server operations. The ConfigMgr client uses WMI for internal control of its own operations and for gathering hardware inventory. ConfigMgr also uses WMI as an interface to the site database.
ConfigMgr Client Namespaces
The ConfigMgr client agent gathers hardware inventory data by querying WMI. The Client Agent settings determine which object classes are reported as part of the client inventory. For the majority of hardware inventory policy definitions, enabling or disabling what is reported from the clients to the ConfigMgr infrastructure is done from the console, via Client Agent settings
WMI on ConfigMgr Servers
The SMS Provider is a WMI provider that exposes many of the most important objects in the ConfigMgr site database as WMI managed objects. This provider is generally installed on either the site server or the site database server
The SMS Provider namespace is Root\SMS\site_<site code>. You can use standard WMI tools to view ConfigMgr classes and objects.
