Dell Command | Monitor provides the ability to configure a system BIOS, including management of its boot order.
WMI provides user authentication before granting access to the CIM data and methods. Access privileges are enforced by Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) security and CIMOM. Complete or limited access, is granted to users on per-namespace basis. There is no class implementation or property-level security. By default, users who are members of the administrators group have complete local and remote access to WMI.
You can configure WMI security using the WMI Control available in the Computer Management console under the Services and Applications section. Right-click WMI Control, and then click Properties. You can configure namespace-specific security from the Security tab. You can also run WMI Control from the Start menu or from the CLI, by running wmimgmt.msc.
Dell Command | Monitor detects events on Dell systems and alerts the local user and network administrator about potential failures, configuration changes, and chassis intrusions. These events are displayed by a systems management application such as OpenManage Essentials (OME).
Dell Command | Monitor provides access to system information such as BIOS revision and system model through WMI using CIM. The WSMAN protocol can also be used to access this information through WMI.
Dell Command | Monitor provides access to detailed inventory information such as processors, PCI devices, and batteries.
Dell Command | Monitor supports configuration of remote wake-up settings. Remote wake-up is a function of the client system and Network Interface Card (NIC).
Dell Command | Monitor allows administrators to retrieve and set business client BIOS settings such as USB port configuration, boot order, and NIC settings.
Dell Command | Monitor monitors the system health such as fan status, and reports the status through NT event log entries and CIM events.
