It wouldn't be hard to do a foreach with PowerShell and the WMI or CIM cmdlets. 
It might take a while to run though.

Maybe something like...

Get-CimClass * | ForEach-Object {Get-WmiObject -Class $_.CimClassName}

Just need to add a where-object for the value you want.

Subject: [mssms] WMI Search Values ?

Has anyone found anything that searches for values in a WMI class?  There seems 
to be a bunch of programs like WMI Explorer that will search for classes but 
not something that will search a value.  It's very possible I'm doing something 
wrong and not using it correctly.

For example in Win32_OperatingSystem
Caption = Microsoft Windows 8.1 Enterprise

I would like to be able to search for %8.1 Enterprise% and have the application 
show me everywhere that 8.1 Enterprise is found.

What I'm trying to figure out is if the WSUS server a client is using is 
anywhere in WMI so I can report on it without having to make a 
configuration.mof change and pull in the info from the registry.

It would  be great to search for %8530% in WMI have the value return and I can 
then just add that to my client settings and report on it.

Thank you.
