Summary
This chapter explored working with WMI classes, the different available commands, and the WMI Query Language. You used CIM cmdlets as a means of working with WMI.
Since Get-WmiObject
has been removed from PowerShell, the WMI type accelerators were explored as an alternative means of working with WMI. This may be useful for the few rare classes that do not work using the CIM cmdlets. You used getting and setting permissions with WMI while using shared security and WMI security as examples.
Chapter 12, Working with HTML, XML, and JSON, will explore working with and generating and consuming data from a variety of different text-based formats.
