My question is probably poorly formulated.
In fact -- as I discovered -- some WMI objects reflect their values in
the Windows Registry keys (for example there is mapping
“root\cimv2:Win32_OSRecoveryConfiguration.AutoReboot” in
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl\AutoReboot”).
Is there some *common* attribute of WMI/COM/OLE objects giving the key path?
I don't believe so. The thing about WMI is that it provides a
uniform and accessible layer on top of quite a lot of lower-level
APIs. In some cases, that's a layer over registry entries; in other
cases it's a layer over an actual API call. It may even be the only
publicly-accessible means of achieving some result.
As it happens, for *methods* there is sometimes a clue as to the
underlying API. I have exposed this as (for want of a better name) the
provenance attribute of a method class. So if you do this:
<code>
import wmi
print wmi.WMI().Win32_Process.Create.provenance
</code>
You'll see something like this:
Win32API|Process and Thread Functions|CreateProcess
I'm not aware of any such thing for attributes, although it wouldn't
surprise me utterly if there were.
I must say that wmiweb is a great application.
Thanks; I rather like it myself :)
