Get a handle on CIM classes and their properties and methods.
CIM Explorer (formerly known as WMI Explorer), provides comprehensive access to the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) database, enabling IT professionals to browse, search, and query CIM classes, properties, and methods across local and remote machines. The software offers advanced filtering, multi-threaded querying, and integrated PowerShell consoles to facilitate data analysis and script generation for system management.

Browse Remote Machines

Connect to any machine within your network and explore its CIM database. CIM Explorer caches namespaces, classes, properties, and methods locally, allowing offline browsing without delay.

Advanced Search Options

Perform detailed searches by class, namespace, or across the entire CIM repository, enabling precise access to required information.

Noise Filtering

Utilize advanced filters to limit displayed classes and properties, customizing views to highlight relevant CIM elements and enhance navigation.

Multi-threaded Querying

Execute multi-threaded queries on classes, specific properties, or custom WQL (WMI Query Language) expressions to retrieve underlying data efficiently.

Export Query Results

Save query outputs in multiple formats including HTML, XML, CSV, or plain text for further processing or documentation.

Code Generation for Automation

Automatically generate PowerShell and VBScript code for querying CIM classes and methods, including properly ordered parameters for CIM method calls, facilitating scripting and automation.

Integrated PowerShell Consoles

Test generated PowerShell statements instantly using integrated consoles supporting both Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core environments.

Local Caching for Offline Access

Maintain local caches of remote CIM database structures, enabling fast navigation and browsing without active connection to remote machines.

Direct PowerShell Query Execution

Run sample CIM queries directly with a single click through live PowerShell links in the documentation for classes and properties.
