WMI Provider

SSRS includes a WMI provider that maps SSRS' XML configuration files to a set of classes to simplify configuration management of the Report Server and Report Manager, and to minimize configuration errors. WMI provider also supplies a class that provides basic properties and status information for a SSRS instance, and thus assists with discovery of SSRS instances on a network.

Both the Reporting Services Configuration Tool and the rsconfig.exe utility use the SSRS WMI provider.
