First to all we need to get the latest version of WMI script in order to compile and install it, to achieve

this issue the following command from the terminal:

WMI INSTALLATION####################################################################################

## Download WMI Plugin from Cacti.net

yum install subversion

cd /tmp/

svn export http://dev.zenoss.org/svn/tags/wmi-1.3.14/

cd /tmp/wmi-1.3.14/Samba/source

./autogen.sh

./configuremake allmake install

## Check the version of WMI

cd bin

ls -l wmic

./wmic --version

## copy wmic to the appropriate location

cp wmic /usr/local/bin

### You may see an error like this, which you can safely ignore.:

#### make: *** No rule to make target `wmi/wmiq.o', needed by `bin/wmiq'.Stop.

### You will now have the wmic binary in /tmp/wmi-1.3.14/Samba/source/binThe ### wmic binary is the only file needed. You can safely delete the wmidirectory ### after you stored the wmic binary to a safe place.
