DESCRIPTION
The Get-WSManInstance cmdlet retrieves an instance of a management resource that is specified by a resource Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). The
information that is retrieved can be a complex XML information set, which is an object, or a simple value. This cmdlet is the equivalent to the
standard Web Services for Management (WS-Management) Get command.
This cmdlet uses the WS-Management connection/transport layer to retrieve information.
PARAMETERS
-ApplicationName <String>
Specifies the application name in the connection. The default value of the ApplicationName parameter is WSMAN. The complete identifier for the
remote endpoint is in the following format:
<transport>://<server>:<port>/<ApplicationName>
For example: `http://server01:8080/WSMAN`
Internet Information Services (IIS), which hosts the session, forwards requests with this endpoint to the specified application. This default
setting of WSMAN is appropriate for most uses. This parameter is designed to be used if many computers establish remote connections to one
computer that is running Windows PowerShell. In this case, IIS hosts WS-Management for efficiency.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Associations [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that this cmdlet gets association instances, not associated instances. You can use this parameter only when the Dialect parameter
has a value of Association.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Authentication <AuthenticationMechanism>
Specifies the authentication mechanism to be used at the server. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- Basic. Basic is a scheme in which the user name and password are sent in clear text to the server or proxy. - Default. Use the
authentication method implemented by the WS-Management protocol. This is the default. - Digest. Digest is a challenge-response scheme that
uses a server-specified data string for the challenge. - Kerberos. The client computer and the server mutually authenticate by using Kerberos
certificates. - Negotiate. Negotiate is a challenge-response scheme that negotiates with the server or proxy to determine the scheme to use
for authentication. For example, this parameter value allows for negotiation to determine whether the Kerberos protocol or NTLM is used. -
CredSSP. Use Credential Security Support Provider (CredSSP) authentication, which lets the user delegate credentials. This option is designed
for commands that run on one remote computer but collect data from or run additional commands on other remote computers.
Caution: CredSSP delegates the user credentials from the local computer to a remote computer. This practice increases the security risk of the
remote operation. If the remote computer is compromised, when credentials are passed to it, the credentials can be used to control the network
session.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-BasePropertiesOnly [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that this cmdlet enumerates only the properties that are part of the base class that is specified by the ResourceURI parameter. This
parameter has no effect if the Shallow parameter is specified.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-CertificateThumbprint <String>
Specifies the digital public key certificate (X509) of a user account that has permission to perform this action. Enter the certificate
thumbprint of the certificate.
Certificates are used in client certificate-based authentication. They can be mapped only to local user accounts; they do not work with domain
accounts.
To get a certificate thumbprint, use the Get-Item or Get-ChildItem command in the Windows PowerShell Cert: drive.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ComputerName <String>
Specifies the computer against which to run the management operation. The value can be a fully qualified domain name, a NetBIOS name, or an IP
address. Use the local computer name, use localhost, or use a dot (.) to specify the local computer. The local computer is the default. When
the remote computer is in a different domain from the user, you must use a fully qualified domain name must be used. You can pipe a value for
this parameter to the cmdlet.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ConnectionURI <Uri>
Specifies the connection endpoint. The format of this string is as follows:
<Transport>://<Server>:<Port>/<ApplicationName>
The following string is a correctly formatted value for this parameter:
`http://Server01:8080/WSMAN`
The URI must be fully qualified.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Credential <PSCredential>
Specifies a user account that has permission to perform this action. The default is the current user. Type a user name, such as User01,
Domain01\\User01, or User@Domain.com. Or, enter a PSCredential object, such as one returned by the Get-Credential cmdlet. When you type a user
name, this cmdlet prompts you for a password.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Dialect <Uri>
Specifies the dialect to use in the filter predicate. This can be any dialect that is supported by the remote service. The following aliases
can be used for the dialect URI:
- WQL. http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/WQL - Selector. http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman ... ctorFilter -
Association. http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/ci ... tionFilter
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Enumerate [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that this cmdlet returns all of the instances of a management resource.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Filter <String>
Specifies the filter expression for the enumeration. If you specify this parameter, you must also specify Dialect .
The valid values of this parameter depend on the dialect that is specified in Dialect . For example, if Dialect is WQL, the Filter parameter
must contain a string, and the string must contain a valid WQL query such as the following query:
`"Select * from Win32_Service where State != Running"`
If Dialect is Association, Filter must contain a string, and the string must contain a valid filter, such as the following filter:
`-filter:Object=EPR[;AssociationClassName=AssocClassName][;ResultClassName=ClassName][;Role=RefPropertyName][;ResultRole=RefPropertyName]}`
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Fragment <String>
Specifies a section inside the instance that is to be updated or retrieved for the specified operation. For example, to get the status of a
spooler service, specify the following:
`-Fragment Status`
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-OptionSet <Hashtable>
Specifies a set of switches to a service to modify or refine the nature of the request. These resemble switches used in command-line shells
because they are service specific. Any number of options can be specified.
The following example demonstrates the syntax that passes the values 1, 2, and 3 for the a, b, and c parameters:
`-OptionSet @{a=1;b=2;c=3}`
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Port <Int32>
Specifies the port to use when the client connects to the WinRM service. When the transport is HTTP, the default port is 80. When the
transport is HTTPS, the default port is 443.
When you use HTTPS as the transport, the value of the ComputerName parameter must match the server's certificate common name (CN). However, if
the SkipCNCheck parameter is specified as part of the SessionOption parameter, the certificate common name of the server does not have to
match the host name of the server. The SkipCNCheck parameter should be used only for trusted computers.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ResourceURI <Uri>
Specifies the URI of the resource class or instance. The URI identifies a specific type of resource, such as disks or processes, on a computer.
A URI consists of a prefix and a path of a resource. For example:
`http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman ... ogicalDisk`
`http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/ci ... ericSensor`
Required? true
Position? 0
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ReturnType <String>
Specifies the type of data to be returned. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- Object
- EPR
- ObjectAndEPR
The default value is Object.
If you specify Object or do not specify this parameter, this cmdlet returns only objects. If you specify endpoint reference (EPR) this cmdlet
returns only the endpoint references of the objects. Endpoint references contain information about the resource URI and the selectors for the
instance. If you specify ObjectAndEPR, this cmdlet returns both the object and its associated endpoint references.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SelectorSet <Hashtable>
Specifies a set of value pairs that are used to select particular management resource instances. The SelectorSet parameter is used when more
than one instance of the resource exists. The value of the SelectorSet parameter must be a hash table.
The following example shows how to enter a value for this parameter:
`-SelectorSet @{Name="WinRM";ID="yyy"}`
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SessionOption <SessionOption>
Specifies extended options for the WS-Management session. Enter a SessionOption object that you create by using the New-WSManSessionOption
cmdlet. For more information about the options that are available, type `Get-Help New-WSManSessionOption`.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Shallow [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that this cmdlet returns only instances of the base class that is specified in the resource URI. If you do not specify this
parameter,, this cmdlet returns instances of the base class that is specified in the URI and in all its derived classes.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-UseSSL [<SwitchParameter>]
Specifies that the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol is used to establish a connection to the remote computer. By default, SSL is not used.
WS-Management encrypts all the Windows PowerShell content that is transmitted over the network. The UseSSL parameter lets you specify the
additional protection of HTTPS instead of HTTP. If SSL is not available on the port that is used for the connection, and you specify this
parameter, the command fails.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false

Description : Windows Remote Management (WinRM) service implements the WS-Management protocol for remote
management. WS-Management is a standard web services protocol used for remote software and
hardware management. The WinRM service listens on the network for WS-Management requests
and processes them. The WinRM Service needs to be configured with a listener using the
winrm.cmd command line tool or through Group Policy in order for it to listen over the
network. The WinRM service provides access to WMI data and enables event collection. Event
collection and subscription to events require that the service is running. WinRM messages
use HTTP and HTTPS as transports. The WinRM service does not depend on IIS but is
preconfigured to share a port with IIS on the same computer. The WinRM service reserves the
/wsman URL prefix. To prevent conflicts with IIS, administrators should ensure that any
websites hosted on IIS do not use the /wsman URL prefix.

name, this cmdlet prompts you for a password.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Dialect <Uri>
Specifies the dialect to use in the filter predicate. This can be any dialect that is supported by the remote service. The following aliases
can be used for the dialect URI:
- WQL. http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/WQL - Selector. http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman ... ctorFilter -
Association. http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/ci ... tionFilter
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Enumerate [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that this cmdlet returns all of the instances of a management resource.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Filter <String>
Specifies the filter expression for the enumeration. If you specify this parameter, you must also specify Dialect .
The valid values of this parameter depend on the dialect that is specified in Dialect . For example, if Dialect is WQL, the Filter parameter
must contain a string, and the string must contain a valid WQL query such as the following query:
`"Select * from Win32_Service where State != Running"`
If Dialect is Association, Filter must contain a string, and the string must contain a valid filter, such as the following filter:
`-filter:Object=EPR[;AssociationClassName=AssocClassName][;ResultClassName=ClassName][;Role=RefPropertyName][;ResultRole=RefPropertyName]}`
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Fragment <String>
Specifies a section inside the instance that is to be updated or retrieved for the specified operation. For example, to get the status of a
spooler service, specify the following:
`-Fragment Status`
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-OptionSet <Hashtable>
Specifies a set of switches to a service to modify or refine the nature of the request. These resemble switches used in command-line shells
because they are service specific. Any number of options can be specified.
The following example demonstrates the syntax that passes the values 1, 2, and 3 for the a, b, and c parameters:
`-OptionSet @{a=1;b=2;c=3}`
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Port <Int32>
Specifies the port to use when the client connects to the WinRM service. When the transport is HTTP, the default port is 80. When the
transport is HTTPS, the default port is 443.
When you use HTTPS as the transport, the value of the ComputerName parameter must match the server's certificate common name (CN). However, if
the SkipCNCheck parameter is specified as part of the SessionOption parameter, the certificate common name of the server does not have to
match the host name of the server. The SkipCNCheck parameter should be used only for trusted computers.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ResourceURI <Uri>
Specifies the URI of the resource class or instance. The URI identifies a specific type of resource, such as disks or processes, on a computer.
A URI consists of a prefix and a path of a resource. For example:
`http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman ... ogicalDisk`
`http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/ci ... ericSensor`
Required? true
Position? 0
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ReturnType <String>
Specifies the type of data to be returned. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- Object
- EPR
- ObjectAndEPR
The default value is Object.
If you specify Object or do not specify this parameter, this cmdlet returns only objects. If you specify endpoint reference (EPR) this cmdlet
returns only the endpoint references of the objects. Endpoint references contain information about the resource URI and the selectors for the
instance. If you specify ObjectAndEPR, this cmdlet returns both the object and its associated endpoint references.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SelectorSet <Hashtable>
Specifies a set of value pairs that are used to select particular management resource instances. The SelectorSet parameter is used when more
than one instance of the resource exists. The value of the SelectorSet parameter must be a hash table.
The following example shows how to enter a value for this parameter:
`-SelectorSet @{Name="WinRM";ID="yyy"}`
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SessionOption <SessionOption>
Specifies extended options for the WS-Management session. Enter a SessionOption object that you create by using the New-WSManSessionOption
cmdlet. For more information about the options that are available, type `Get-Help New-WSManSessionOption`.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Shallow [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that this cmdlet returns only instances of the base class that is specified in the resource URI. If you do not specify this
parameter,, this cmdlet returns instances of the base class that is specified in the URI and in all its derived classes.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-UseSSL [<SwitchParameter>]
Specifies that the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol is used to establish a connection to the remote computer. By default, SSL is not used.
WS-Management encrypts all the Windows PowerShell content that is transmitted over the network. The UseSSL parameter lets you specify the
additional protection of HTTPS instead of HTTP. If SSL is not available on the port that is used for the connection, and you specify this
parameter, the command fails.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false

Description : Windows Remote Management (WinRM) service implements the WS-Management protocol for remote
management. WS-Management is a standard web services protocol used for remote software and
hardware management. The WinRM service listens on the network for WS-Management requests
and processes them. The WinRM Service needs to be configured with a listener using the
winrm.cmd command line tool or through Group Policy in order for it to listen over the
network. The WinRM service provides access to WMI data and enables event collection. Event
collection and subscription to events require that the service is running. WinRM messages
use HTTP and HTTPS as transports. The WinRM service does not depend on IIS but is
preconfigured to share a port with IIS on the same computer. The WinRM service reserves the
/wsman URL prefix. To prevent conflicts with IIS, administrators should ensure that any
websites hosted on IIS do not use the /wsman URL prefix.
