How to monitor Other Target OS for WMI Win32_SoftwareElement ?

With IPHost Network Monitor you can run WMI Other Target OS monitoring of various devices in your network.

To create a WMI monitor for Other Target OS, provide host name (it must be a Windows host) and specify custom WQL query:

SELECT OtherTargetOS FROM Win32_SoftwareElement

The OtherTargetOS property records the manufacturer and operating system type for a software element when the TargetOperatingSystem property has a value of 1 ("Other"). Therefore, when the TargetOperatingSystem property has a value of "Other", the OtherTargetOS property must have a non-null value. For all other values of TargetOperatingSystem, the OtherTargetOS property is to be NULL.

SoftwareFeatures and SoftwareElements: A 'SoftwareFeature' is a distinct subset of a Product, consisting of one or more 'SoftwareElements'. Each SoftwareElement is defined in a Win32_SoftwareElement instance, and the association between a feature and its SoftwareFeature(s) is defined in the Win32_SoftwareFeatureSoftwareElement Association. Any component can be 'shared' between two or more SoftwareFeatures. If two or more features reference the same component, that component will be selected for installation if any of these features are selected.
