Well, for regular modeling (linux, solaris, whatever) Zenoss uses zenModeler 
(there's a zenWinModeler for WMI).  I think you need to take a look at how you 
are modeling your windows systems.  Hit up the zProperties for 
/Device/Server/Windows and take a look at zCollectorPlugins.  There you'll see 
a list of options that Zenoss is going to use the model the device (i.e. find 
all that info you are looking for).  Most of them default to snmp which is 
probably why you aren't finding a lot of information.  That also eludes to 
something being funny with zenWinModeler, from what I understand you should be 
able to get quite a lot with WMI (i haven't gotten WMI configured yet, but 
since you have you might read the section below and see if that helps).

As for the WMI side of things I'm not quite sure.  I know that zenoss using the 
zenWinModeler to do a lot of the WMI stuff (as opposed to zenmodeler which does 
the snmp collections).  What I don't know is if the zenWinModeler runs when you 
try to model devices or if its just zenModeler (or if its based on class or 
something more interesting than that).  One thing you could do is to try to 
force the zenWinModeler to run (it runs once a day I think) and see if that 
remodels your windows devices.

>From the command line, become the user zenoss and run:
zenwinmodeler run -v10 

See if that does anything, you can capture the output there too and see what 
its picking up from WMI when it tries to model the windows devices.
