WMI is the Microsoft implementation of Web-based Enterprise Management (WBEM), a set of systems management technologies for use in distributed systems. It is based on common standards like the Common Information Model (CIM).
The WBEM initiative was started in 1996 by BMC Software, Cisco, Compaq, Intel and Microsoft.
The specification for the CIM is maintained by the DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force), an industry standards organization consisting of members and alliance partners collaborating on specifications. It also maintains a repository of its operating policies on issues including IP.
