Examples:

wmiop enumerateinstancenames Win32_OperatingSystem
wmiop gi Win32_Process list
wmiop ei Win32_ComputerSystem
Environment variables:
CIM_NAMESPACE -- if not defined use root/cimv2
CIM_HOST -- local connect if not defined
CIM_PORT -- port number (default determined by CIM_NOSSL)
CIM_NOSSL -- if defined, connect unencrypted to 5988, else 5989
CIM_USER -- user
CIM_PASSWORD -- password
NOTE:
• Set the value for CIM_NAMESPACE appropriately, so that instances of __Namespace can be
enumerated, created, and deleted.
• Set the CIM_NAMESPACE variable to the correct and desired namespace before running the
WMIOP application.
• If an invalid classname is provided, the application will abort.
• Do not redirect WMIOP output to a file. Some operations require user input after the
command line call and these inputs cannot be omitted.
Error messages and corrective actions
nPartition commands messages
The following messages are written to standard output by the commands. This list does not
include messages resulting from syntax errors, or errors caused by attempting a change that is
not valid for the current configuration (for example, removing a cell from a partition when the
cell was not assigned to that partition in the first place). Those messages are generally
self-explanatory.
