The WMI commands are:

• Get-WmiObject
• Invoke-WmiMethod
• Register-WmiEvent
• Remove-WmiObject
• Set-WmiInstance

In addition to the commands, three type accelerators are available:

• [Wmi]: System.Management.ManagementObject
• [WmiClass]: System.Management.ManagementClass
• [WmiSearcher]: System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher

Each of the WMI cmdlets uses the ComputerName parameter to aim the operation at another computer. The WMI cmdlets also support a credential parameter and other authentication options affecting the authentication method.

Both the Wmi and WmiClass type accelerator can be written to use a remote computer by including the computer name. For example:

[Wmi]"\RemoteComputer
ootcimv2:Win32_Process.Handle=$PID" 
[WmiClass]"\RemoteComputer
ootcimv2:Win32_Process"
