I'm uncertain how WMI would play with this, but you have any output from a 
console program written to file by using redirection. For instance the 
following command will write the output of dir to c:\foo.txt:

dir c:\ > c:\foo.txt

On unix there is a distinction between standard output (stdout) and standard 
error (stderr) but I don't believe Windows cmd.exe makes this distinction.

Does that help?
