Using 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.

(NEC MagicEye™ Technology) provides the following
features:
