Example

The following use cases will show examples of how to use wbemop. The examples shown use CIM-XML a secure HTTPS connection. To use an HTTP connection, replace https with http.

For example:

Replace
wbemop -s https://localhost/interop -u user1 -p pass1 CIM_ObjectManager ei
With
wbemop -s http://localhost/interop -u user1 -p pass1 CIM_ObjectManager ei

C:\>cd \Program Files\ws\sdk\bin C:\Program Files\ws\sdk\bin>wbemop -s https://localhost/interop -u user1 -p pass1 CIM_ObjectManager ei instance of WBEMSolutions_ObjectManager {
