Chapter 10. WMI and CIM

We've looked at several kinds of cmdlets so far in this book, but until now, each cmdlet has been working with a specific kind of object. In this chapter, we will look at the WMI and CIM cmdlets, which will allow us to look at a seemingly unlimited range of object types. In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • What are WMI and CIM?

  • A WMI/CIM glossary

  • Retrieving objects via WMI and CIM

  • Calling methods via WMI and CIM

  • The CDXML modules
