Installing CIM and SNMP for
Manageability
Both Common Information Model (CIM) and Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) are information models that allow you to monitor and
manage a PC or a network. Both CIM and SNMP are supported on the
Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server
2012 Operating Systems. The CIM standard defines managed elements
and the SNMP standard defines events such as temperature threshold
and power outages which are called traps.
