DMI
As a part of the LANDesk Client Manager, the Desktop
Management Interface (DMI) is the standard interface used to
manage system components on the computer. Examples of
system components are network interface cards and software
applications. System components provide a Management
Information Format (MIF) file to be DMI-compliant. The
information file describes component attributes that can be
managed.
Client Manager can be used to “get” attribute information on
system components. It can also be used to “set” attribute
values in real time.
