Installing CIM and SNMP for
Manageability
Both Common Information Model (CIM) and Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) are information models that allow you to monitor and
manage a PC or a network. Both CIM and SNMP are supported on the
Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008
R2 Operating Systems. The CIM standard defines managed elements and
the SNMP standard defines events such as temperature threshold and
power outages which are called traps.
