About this book

This detailed guide overviews the enterprise system management facilities, which are available as part of the Framework Class Library (FCL) of the .NET Framework. While Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)a centerpiece of Microsoft's enterprise management technologyis a fairly well-researched topic, .NET system management documentation has, so far, been scarce.

Therefore, this book aims to provide you with the comprehensive, sensible documentation that up until now has been lacking. The book will also cover overlooked aspects of .NET and WMI programming.

After reading .NET System Management Services, you will possess solid understanding of the fundamental concepts behind WMI, and you will be able to quickly develop custom management tools which are often more flexible and powerful than any expensive, ready-made software.

About the author

Alexander Golomshtok is a project manager and technology specialist at JP Morgan Chase. Having dedicated much of his professional career to developing large-scale software systems for various financial institutions in Europe and United States, Golomshtok has always been fascinated with such aspects of software development and maintenance as performance and system management. This continuing fascination amounted to a small consulting company, Cronos Systems Inc, which Golomshtok founded in 1998 to develop custom performance and system management tools for UNIX/Windows platforms. Besides putting in long hours at his day job and running Cronos Systems Inc, Golomshtok manages to write an occasional technical article for Sys Admin magazine.
