• Operating System Provider
The Operating System Provider makes available operating system
information such as operating system type, version, last boot up
time, local date and time, number of users, swap space size, and free
physical memory.
This provider is for use by clients as part of a basic understanding of
the identity of the managed system on which it is running (typically
a server or appliance).
The Operating System Provider makes use of the
CIM_OperatingSystem class and PG_OperatingSystem subclass.
— SystemUpTime is a convenience property. It provides direct
access to this value, versus having client/providers calculate the
value from LastBootUpTime and the LocalDateTime.
— OperatingSystemCapability indicates whether the OS itself is
32-bit or 64-bit capable.
