WMI Code Creator v1.0

Bahhh!

This is really gooood!
Are you tired from restarting your BizTalkServerApplication Service "BTSNTSvc.exe" after a manual re-deploy of a BizTalk server assembly (by dropping it directly to the GAC). Are you tired from managing your BizTalk application artifacts manually (such as disabling/enabling a receive location) ???

Then here you go:
The WMI Code Generator from Microsoft, @ Download it from here.

With this tool, you can easily generate WMI scripts using C#, VB.NET to access the WMI namespaces to perform the tedious management tasks on the fly.

Happy WMI code generation,
Yousef
