I would actually use performance counters (via NSClient++ and check_nt or my Windows port, check_nt_win) rather than WMI, simply because it already exists. WMI really just provides you with a wrapper around performance counters anyway.
You can very easily find out ALL counters that are available. Simply start the Windows performance monitor (perfmon). Click on the + icon to add a counter. The Performance Objects are the first part in the string, the counters are the second. For instance, the string you gave means Performance Object "SQLServer:General Statistics" and Counter "User Connections". By the way, remember to use double backslashes every time you need just one. As for the Blackberry BES: I'm working on a plugin for it right now, and would very much appreciate input on what specific counters etc. you would like to see monitored. Actually, I was tentatively planning to use SNMP, but can easily switch to WMI.
