Invoke-WmiMethod

Short description
Calls Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) methods.

Syntax


Description
The Invoke-WmiMethod cmdlet calls the methods of WMI objects.


New CIM cmdlets, introduced Windows PowerShell 3.0, perform the same tasks as the WMI cmdlets. The CIM cmdlets comply w
ith WS-Management (WSMan) standards and with the Common Information Model (CIM) standard, which enables the cmdlets to 
use the same techniques to manage Windows computers and those running other operating systems. Instead of using Invoke-
WmiMethod, consider using Invoke-CimMethod.
