When logging WMI calls and queries via WMI-Activity Trace logs, I can see all the method invocations being logged, but not the method's parameters. As I'm looking to work around certain hardware/driver issues with my laptop, I absolutely must know what the method parameters of the WMI calls are, but as it stands I have not been able to find any way of doing so.

I'd also appreciate alternative methods of logging WMI activity that support recording method parameters.

    You could try to use Get-WmiObject to get instances of WMI classes and Get-Member to get the properties and methods of objects.
