You may have seen this on your Vista or Windows 7 machine. As you can tell, mine is probably average, but did you know that you can retrieve this locally or remotely via WMI using the Win32_WinSat class?
You can not only retrieve that number but all of the scores that you would normally see via the GUI (see below).
This little function will allow you to view not only your local Windows Experience Index, but also any remote machine’s index as well! The big thing that I changed was translating the value that you would normally get with the AssessmentState property.
