How do I obtain VDI plugin information using WMI in zoom App?

Data and operations can be managed using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). In order to gather information about the VDI plugins their users are running, organizations can use WMI.

Prerequisites for obtaining VDI plugin information using WMI

• Instrumentation for Windows Management
• For the implementation of a virtual desktop infrastructure
• (VDI) client and plugin version 5.5.6 or later

How to enable WMI for VDI

The following value description can be changed in the VDI client registry settings to enable WMI.

Key: ZOOM/Zoom Meetings/VDI/SOFTWARE/Policies
Value: ProviderWMIEnabled
Value Type: DWORD
Value Description: The VDI client’s in-process WMI provider must be enabled with a value of one (1). Disable the provider by specifying zero (0) or not available.

How to gather data with WMI

The following data can be collected and queried with PowerShell WMI.
An example query is:

Get-WMIObject -N "root/zoom/vdi" -class PluginInfo
