WQL (WMI Query Language)

CIM
? Common Information Model
? Set up by DTMF (Desktop Management Task Force)
? http://www.dmtf.org/standards/cim
? An open model compared to WMI
? Common model for managing systems, switches, routers and other n/w
devices
? Enables extension of the API by vendors
? The goal is to make PowerShell the platform to manage both windows & non-
windows
? Faster than WMI
“CIM provides a common definition of management information for systems,
networks, applications and services, and allows for vendor extensions. CIM’s
common definitions enable vendors to exchange semantically rich management
information between systems throughout the network.”

? It makes any storage look like a disk drive
? Could be filesystem, registry
