WinMgmt.exe
WMI Service Control Utility
Description
Winmgmt.exe is the core Windows Management Instrumentation service. For developers, it can also be run as a command line application for the current user context if the service is not running. There are several command line options in this case. Run Winmgmt /? for a list of options at the command line.
WinMgmt.exe is a 64-bit executable for a command line application that has no GUI.

The WBEM directory is used by the Web Based Enterprise Management for executables, utilities and data files. Microsoft's implementation of WBEM is called Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). It offers platform independent control of network devices.
The two security hashes for WinMgmt.exe were created from the original file. The security hash is created by scanning all bytes within the file. Identical files should have the same hashes. SHA1 is considered the more secure than the older MD5 hash.

Instructions on Use
Command-line help instructions for this application.
Windows Management Instrumentation
Usage: winmgmt [/backup ] [/restore ]
[/resyncperf] [/standalonehost []] [/sharedhost]
[/verifyrepository []] [/salvagerepository]
[/resetrepository]
/backup
Causes WMI to back up the repository to the specified file name. The
filename argument should contain the full path to the file location.
This process requires a write lock on the repository so that write
operations to the repository are suspended until the backup process is
completed.
/restore
Manually restores the WMI repository from the specified backup file.
The filename argument should contain the full path to the backup file
location. To perform the restore operation, WMI saves the existing
repository to write back if the operation fails. Then the repository is
restored from the backup file that is specified in the filename
argument. If exclusive access to the repository cannot be achieved,
existing clients are disconnected from WMI. The flag argument must be a
1 (force - disconnect users and restore) or 0 (default - restore if no
users connected) and specifies the restore mode.
/resyncperf
Registers the system performance libraries with WMI.
/standalonehost []
Moves the Winmgmt service to a standalone Svchost process that has a
fixed DCOM endpoint. The default endpoint is "ncacn_ip_tcp.0.24158".
However, the endpoint may be changed by running Dcomcnfg.exe. The level
argument is the authentication level for the Svchost process. If level
is not specified, the default is 4 (RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_PKT).
/sharedhost
Moves the Winmgmt service into the shared Svchost process.
/verifyrepository []
Performs a consistency check on the WMI repository. When you add the
/verifyrepository switch without the argument, then the live
repository currently used by WMI is verified. When you specify the path
argument, you can verify any saved copy of the repository. In this
case, the path argument should contain the full path to the saved
repository copy. The saved repository should be a copy of the entire
repository folder.
/salvagerepository
Performs a consistency check on the WMI repository, and if an
inconsistency is detected, rebuilds the repository. The content of the
inconsistent repository is merged into the rebuilt repository, if it
can be read. The salvage operation always works with the repository
that the WMI service is currently using. MOF files that contain the
#pragma autorecover preprocessor statement are restored to the
repository.
/resetrepository
The repository is reset to the initial state when the operating system
is first installed. MOF files that contain the #pragma autorecover
preprocessor statement are restored to the repository.
Internal Resource Counts
Resources are read-only content stored within the file. It is mostly used to hold graphics, strings, menus and dialog templates, although other types are occasionally used. See our section on Resources Help for more details.
