[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Invoke-CMWmiMethod cmdlet calls Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) methods provided in Configuration Manager.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1: Call a WMI method by using the pipeline
PS XYZ:\> Get-CMBoundaryGroup -Name "Boundary1" | Invoke-CMWmiMethod -MethodName "AddBoundary" -Parameter @{BoundaryId = 16777217,16777218}This command uses a WMI method to add an array of boundaries to a boundary group.
The command gets the boundary group object named Boundary1 and uses the pipeline operator to pass the object to Invoke-CMWmiMethod. Invoke-CMWmiMethod calls the WMI method AddBoundary which adds the boundaries specified by their IDs to boundary group Boundary1.
