WMI Mapper Proxy
The WMI Mapper Proxy is a configuration setting for WMI. The WMI Mapper receives client CIM/XML
WBEM requests and converts the requests to Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) requests. The
WMI results are converted to CIM/XML format and returned to the client. The discovery and Identification
task uses the proxies in the WMI Mapper Proxy list to discover whether a system is a WMI-enabled system.
If the system is WMI-enabled, then the identification information for that system based on that specific proxy
is returned.
The WMI Mapper Proxy feature enables you to perform the following tasks:
• Add a WMI Mapper Proxy. Select Options→Protocol Settings→WMI Mapper Proxy→[New].
The Add WMI Mapper Proxy section appears.
• Edit a WMI Mapper Proxy. Select Options→Protocol Settings→WMI Mapper Proxy. Select the
proxy to edit, and click [Edit]. The Edit WMI Mapper Proxy section appears.
• Delete a WMI Mapper Proxy. Select Options→Protocol Settings→WMI Mapper Proxy. Select
the systems to delete, and click Delete. A confirmation box appears. Click OK to delete the systems,
or click Cancel to cancel the deletion.
NOTE: Sort any column by clicking the column heading.
