The wm.exe process is an executable file and the main component of the software Novell Workstation Manager, which is created by Novell, Inc. Also known as Novell Client Workstation Manager Service, Workstation Manager Service, or Novell Client, this program works as the same as Windows Policy Editor, but of course, an improvement version because it has more functions and facilities, along with original features created by Novell. Novell Workstation Manager, containing the wm.exe file, is developed exclusively for certain Windows operating systems, which are Windows NT4, Windows 2000 and Windows XP, and automatically set up by default. This software is made to allow a user manage both the NDS and local user accounts using the program NetWare Administrator, set up the installations of programs, including printers and printer drivers, and updates automatically, and give policies for the OS. As the primary component, the wm.exe file is basically the launcher of Novell Workstation Manager.
