CIM Explorer is the next generation tool for exploring the vast universe of the Windows Management Instrumentation database. The CIM database represents an extensive repository of information about your servers and client machines, which, as a system or network administrator, you need to utilize every day. Use CIM Explorer’s Windows PowerShell code generating abilities to create code for queries or even a GUI app with just a few clicks. The integrated PowerShell console for Windows PowerShell and PowerShell 7 makes testing generated PowerShell statements instant and easy.

Remote WMI database structure information is cached locally, so there is no delay when navigating to the CIM class and property you need to access. The data is, of course, queried directly from the remote computer.

CIM Explorer’s search and filter abilities will allow you to find what you need quickly and easily. Live PowerShell links in the documentation for CIM classes and properties enable you to run a sample query with a single click.
