The repository used by seamount WMI is organized into name spaces and space is basically a folder and
is used to group related items for organizational purposes.
Namespace is contained classes the class represents a manageable software and hardware component.
For example the Windows operating system provides classes for processors.
These drives services user accounts and so on each computer on the network may have slightly different
name spaces and classes.
For example a domain controller may have a class named active directory that would not be present on
other computers.
When you work with the repository you typically work with instances that instance represents an actual
occurrence of a class.
For example if a computer has two processor circuits you'll have two instances of the class that represents
processors.
If your computer does not have an attached tape drive you have zero instances of the tape drive.
Class instances are objects similar to the objects that you have already used and when those polls show
instances have properties and some instances have methods properties describe the attributes of an instance
for example a network adapter instance might have properties that describe its speed its power state
and so on methods tell an instance to do something.
For example the instance that represents the operating system might have a method to restore the operating
system.
Some votes about finding documentation class documentation can be difficult to find.
Also many Microsoft product groups and independent software vendors expose management information on
the repository.
Few of them great formal documentation.
In most cases an internet search for a class name will be your best option for finding whatever documentation
exists.
The is in the route sumed version 2 namespace are an exception.
These classes are typically well-documented in the Microsoft development network library or MSDE.
However an internet search is frequently the best way to locate the documentation for a particular class
for example and to ruin the class name when to underscore.
Operating system is an Internet search engine and the fastest way to get the documentation.
Web page for that class.
Remember that both WMI and CM are not a native part of Windows power shell.
Instead they are external technologies that Windows Shell can use and understand.
However because they are external technologist the repository classes are not documented in Windows
POAs shells native help system.
Let's take a look at find it Klaas's documentation examples for this you will require internet access
and ensure that Internet access is available.
Let's see how to locate online Glaus documentation.
Let's look at the online documentation for the win.
So to underscore buyer's class.
So in a web browser go to the search engine and end the search field.
Of inserted to underscore bias in the search results.
Click re-inserted to underscore Byars glass windows and you'll find some MSDS on the web page and can
read the documentation on this class on MSDE.
