大家平时在用类似鲁大师之类软件的时候，会看到鲁大师之类的软件能够获取到PC机的硬件的详细信息，有时候自己在写软件的时候也需要获取PC硬件的详细信息，这个时候你会发现有的硬件信息通过系统的API函数无法获取到或者获取的不准确。所以这个时候就要通过WMI编程来获取硬件信息了。WMI是windows操作系统用来管理软件和硬件的核心。其它的不再多讲了，下面来看最主要的，通过WMI获取硬件信息。
整体来说，通过WMI获取计算机硬件信息有以下几个步骤
1、 用CoInitializeEx函数初始化COM参数。因为WMI中的类都是基于COM技术的。
2、 用CoInitializeSecurity函数初始化COM进程的安全，因为WMI的进程和应用程序进程不在同一个级别。
3、 获取IWbemServices指针，通过函数IWbemLocator::ConnectServer获取。
4、 通过CoSetProxyBlanket设置IWbemServices代理安全，使WMI服务可以模拟客户端。
5、 使用IWbemServices进行WMI查询，主要使用WQL语句。
6、 清理COM对象。
例子， 查询操作系统信息的一个例子
1 #include "stdafx.h"
2 #include <iostream>
3 using namespace std;
4 #include <comdef.h>
5 #include <Wbemidl.h>
6 # pragma comment(lib, "wbemuuid.lib")
7 int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
