In this chapter, we explored working with WMI classes, the different commands that are available, and the WMI query language. Both the CIM and WMI cmdlets were explored as a means of working with WMI. We explored getting and setting permissions with WMI, using shared security and WMI security as examples.

Chapter 12, HTML, XML, and JSON, will explore working with generating and consuming data from a variety of different text-based formats.
