This document discusses the development of a desktop monitoring application using WMI that collects software, hardware, and OS details from client machines on a network. The application extracts data using WMI and displays it through a UI. The developers have so far connected to WMI using VC++, extracted and displayed data, and applied to present their paper at a conference. However, they faced issues with exceptions, security limits, and extracting software information that need to be addressed.
