Overview
.NET System Management Services is a comprehensive overview of a next-generation system management framework, which emerged recently as a result of a merger between two new technologies from Microsoft: the .NET platform and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). WMI has a much narrower focus and somewhat limited audience than .NET. Together, these two technologies are a cornerstone of Microsoft's strategic vision, aiming to make Windows a supreme enterprise computing environment. .NET System Management Services is a detailed and practical overview of the enterprise system management facilities, available as part of the Framework Class Library (FCL) of the .NET Framework. While WMI, which is a centerpiece of Microsoft's enterprise management technology, is a fairly well researched topic, .NET system management documentation is scarce and books are non-existent. This book not only acts as a comprehensive and sensible supplement to often inadequate documentation, but also covers some completely overlooked aspects of .NET and WMI programming. After reading .NET System Management Services, .N ET software developers and system administrators will possess a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts behind WMI and should be well positioned for rapidly developing custom management tools, often more flexible and powerful than any expensive off-the-shelf software.

Author Information
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.
