Windows Management Instrumentation providersWMI is a set of extensions to the Windows Driver Model that provides an operating system interface through which instrumentedcomponents provide information and notification. WMI is Microsoft's implementation of the Web-Based Enterprise Management(WBEM) and Common Information Model (CIM) standards from the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) to manageServer hardware, operating systems and applications. WMI Providers helps to integrate with Systems Management Consoles suchas Microsoft System Center and enables scripting to manage Microsoft Windows Servers.You can enable or disable the WMI option in iDRAC. iDRAC exposes the WMI classes through the iDRAC Service Module providingthe server’s health information. By default, WMI information feature is enabled. The iDRAC Service Module exposes the WSMANmonitored classes in iDRAC through WMI. The classes are exposed in the root/cimv2/dcim namespace.The classes can be accessed using any of the standard WMI client interfaces. For more information, see the profile documents.The following examples use the DCIM_account class to illustrate the capability that WMI information feature provides in iDRACService Module. For the details of the supported classes and profiles, see the WSMAN profiles documentation available at DellTechCenter.CIM Interface WinRM WMIC PowerShellEnumerate instances of aclasswinrm e wmi/root/cimv2/dcim/dcim_accountwmic /namespace:\\root\cimv2\dcimPATH dcim_accountGet-WmiObjectdcim_account -namespace root/cimv2/dcimGet a specific instance of aclasswinrm g wmi/root/cimv2/dcim/DCIM_Account?CreationClassName=DCIM_Account+Name=iDRAC.Embedded.1#Users.2+SystemCreationClassName=DCIM_SPComputerSystem+SystemName=systemmcwmic /namespace:\\root\cimv2\dcimPATH dcim_accountwhereName="iDRAC.Embedded.1#Users.16"Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\cimv2\dcim -Classdcim_account -filter"Name='iDRAC.Embedded.1#Users.16'"Get associated instances ofan instancewinrm e wmi/root/cimv2/dcim/* -dialect:association -filter:{object=DCIM_Account?CreationClassName=DCIM_Account+Name=iDRAC.Embedded.1#Users.1+SystemCreationClassName=DCIM_SPComputerSystem+SystemName=systemmc}wmic /namespace:\\root\cimv2\dcimPATH dcim_accountwhereName='iDRAC.Embedded.1#Users.2' ASSOCGet-Wmiobject -Query "ASSOCIATORSOF{DCIM_Account.CreationClassName='DCIM_Account',Name='iDRAC.Embedded.1#Users.2',SystemCreationClassName='DCIM_SPComputerSystem',SystemName='systemmc'}" -namespace root/cimv2/dcimGet references of an instance winrm e wmi/root/cimv2/dcim/* -dialect:association –associations -filter:{object=DCIM_Account?CreationClassName=DCIM_Account+Name=iDRAC.Embedded.1#Users.1+SystemCreationClassName=DCIM_SPComputerSNot applicable Get-Wmiobject -Query "REFERENCESOF{DCIM_Account.CreationClassName='DCIM_Account',Name='iDRAC.Embedded.1#Users.2',SystemCreationClassName='DCIM_SPComputerSystem',SystemName='systemmc'}" -262
