What is the syntax for "WMI Tester"

Votes:

0

Is it possible to enter a query in WMI Tester advanced tab to pull more than one piece of data?

For example

SELECT SerialNumber FROM Win32_SystemEnclosure
SELECT Model FROM Win32_SystemEnclosure

I've tried multiple ways, but always get "80041017: The query was not syntactically correct". But there is no indication what the correct syntax would be. Both of these lines work by themselves.

tools wmi wmi-tester

Dear seanperdew,

Thank you for your KB-post.

If you want to gather more than one property from the same WMI class, you have to coma separate them. So, please use the syntax as shown below:

SELECT SerialNumber, Model FROM Win32_SystemEnclosure

Best regards,
Sven
