    Hi madhugeddada ,

     

    I'm assuming you're talking about this announcement:

     

     

    WMI has nothing to do with VBScript and will continue to exist.

     

    VBScript is simply language, whereas WMI is an interface that can be accessed from many languages - VBScript being just one.

     

    Dropping support for VBScript therefore has no bearing on the interfaces you could access using VBScript.

     

    PowerShell has been able to access WMI from day one, meaning it is one option.

     

    Another option for existing VBScript scripts running under the Windows Scripting Host can be converted to use the Javascript language if required.

     

    Cheers,
    Lain
