Syntax


Description
The Invoke-CimMethod cmdlet invokes a method of a CIM class or CIM instance using the name-value pairs specified by 
the Arguments parameter.


If the InputObject parameter is not specified, the cmdlet works in one of the following ways: 

--If neither the ComputerName parameter nor the CimSession parameter is specified, then this cmdlet works on local 
Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) using a Component Object Model (COM) session. 
--If either the ComputerName parameter or the CimSession parameter is specified, then this cmdlet works against the 
CIM server specified by either the ComputerName parameter or the CimSession parameter.


If the InputObject parameter is specified, the cmdlet works in one of the following ways: 

--If neither the ComputerName parameter nor the CimSession parameter is specified, then this cmdlet uses the CIM 
session or computer name from the input object. 
--If the either the ComputerName parameter or the CimSession parameter is specified, then this cmdlet uses the either 
the CimSession parameter value or ComputerName parameter value. Note: This is not very common.
