A task that generates strongly typed WMI classes using mgmtclassgen.exe.
The Management Strongly Typed Class Generator enables you to quickly generate an early-bound managed class for a specified Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class. The generated class simplifies the code that you must write to access an instance of the WMI class.
