Wmic-linux

Description

Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC) uses Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to enable system management from the command line.

This post explains how to install a wmic client on a Linux machine. The above installation procedure has been tested on a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32 bits host.

The client for Linux is not as powerful as the one for Windows because it is limited to "select" requests (i.e. not possible to request something like "process list brief") but will be helpful if you don't want to start your Windows virtual machine.
