Using WMI should be done in Powershell scripts, not C++.

If you're already lost at the beginning, then just limit the use of C++ to CreateProcess() function call with the reference to some Powershell script.

If you insist on writing everything in C++, then the MSDN docs should help you to use the WMI's COM API. There are samples of C++ code. What you call "winapi classes" are really the COM interfaces with all the complications. I think you won't get away by just copy'n'pasting some lines, since COM is not as intuitive as VBScript.
