Method (string): The name of the WMI method to run.

Note

Available from v8.0.

AllInstances (boolean): Whether to run the method on all object instances (if there is more than one) or just the first.

Additional parameters for the specific method call. Their names are prefixed with "Param_".

Return values

The accumulated output, if any, from the method invocation(s).

WHERE Name = 'notepad.exe'", AllInstances:true, Method:"Terminate", Param_Reason:"1");

Notes

Unlike the recommendation described for the RunWmiQuery method, "SELECT *" must usually be specified in the query otherwise the WMI objects produced by the filter will be incomplete and the WMI method will fail if it requires objects to work on.
