    by using wbemtest. You can use the query string for the specific instance in the wbemtest to see if that machine specifically providing that info that specific request. Which can be created manually or a script.

      @((gwmi -Query "SELECT * FROM Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_Memory").Properties.Name).Count
