Set-WmiInstance

Short description
Creates or updates an instance of an existing Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class.

Syntax


Description
The Set-WmiInstance cmdlet creates or updates an instance of an existing WMI class. The created or updated instance is 
written to the WMI repository.


New CIM cmdlets, introduced Windows PowerShell 3.0, perform the same tasks as the WMI cmdlets. The CIM cmdlets comply 
with 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 
Set-WmiInstance, consider using the Set-CimInstance or New-CimInstance cmdlets.
