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.
