Can you somebody point me to a resource that talks about the difference between WMI v1 provider and WMI v2 provider? Also what would involve to convert a v1 provider to a v2 provider?
Any information would help. Thanks.

I don't recall seeing reference to a v1 or v2 of WMI. The classes supported by WMI can vary by operating system. You would need to refer to the documentation on each class (most require Windows 2000 or above). Documentation for the Win32 classes are linked here (on the left):

Also, this link discusses WMI providers and on which OS each is supported:

Are you referring to versions of WMI, PowerShell, or something else?

Hi,
This isn't a scripting but rather a developer topic. I would start with the documentation. If you have further questions, I recommend an appropriate developer forum.
