How to connecting to the WMI Query Daemon?
RESOLUTION:
You can connect to the WMI Query Daemon on the BVE, DGE or DGEx to manually send WMI get commands to test and troubleshoot WMI.
Requirements
- Be on a BVE, DGE, or DGEx where the WMI Query Daemon Traverse component is installed or be on a machine that can access one of those machines mentioned previously.

If you have telnet installed on your Windows or Linux server:
telnet n.n.n.n 7667
