[Autogenerated] So first off, what is SIM?
While SIM stands for common information
model, it is a set of standards that
describe how information is structured and
represented within a specific system, such
as a Windows device. So let's go a little
bit further. What is Sim then? We know
it's a common information model, but what
does? What does that mean? Well, first
off, it was introduced into PowerShell
version three. It's been available from
Windows Server 2012 and Windows eight
onwards, and really, the most important
thing here is it's a replacement for any
existing W. M I or Windows management
instrumentation commands. So what does it
look like? And how does this all tie
together? Well, first off we have the
Windows Management API, which obviously
controls the windows interface itself.
Then we have the .NET Framework that sits
over that. Then, of course, that splits
into two objects. We have win RM, which is
obviously part of Sim, and then we have D
com, which is W. M. I on Sim and then
really our last two objects here are the
SIM object manager and then the same
database. I wanted to imagine the same
database as really the listing of the
values and the properties that you would
want to retrieve. So, for example, a list
of processes on the machine, for example,
the object manager is the piece that
interacts directly to that database by
using whichever mechanism, whether it's to be m I or Sim.
