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 Central Management Server (CMS). 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 then 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 then click Delete. A confirmation box appears. Click OK to delete the systems,
or click Cancel to cancel the deletion.
