WS-Management
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WS-Management is an open standard defining a SOAP-based protocol for the management of servers, devices, applications and more. The specification is based on DMTF open standards and Internet standards for Web Services. WS-Management was originally developed, as many standards are, by a coalition of vendors. The coalition was started with AMD, Dell, Intel, Microsoft, Sun Microsystems and expanded to a total of 13 before being submitted to the DMTF in 2005. The DMTF has standarized a 1.0 version and is currently working on a v1.1.
WS-Management provides a common way for systems to access and exchange management information across the IT infrastructure. The specification is quite rich, supporting much more than get/set of simple variables, and in that it is closer to WBEM or Netconf than to SNMP. A mapping of the DMTF-originated Common Information Model into WS-Management was also defined.
[edit] Implementations and Application Support
- Microsoft's operating systems Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista include Windows Remote Management 1.1 (WinRM), which is Microsoft’s implementation of the WS-Management standard.[1] WinRM 1.1 is also available for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.[2]
- Using WS-Management (WinRM 2.0), Windows PowerShell 2.0 allows scripts and cmdlets to be invoked on a remote machine or a large set of remote machines.[3]
- Novell is working to develop an open source implementation of the WS-Management specification for SUSE Linux Enterprise.[4]
- WinRM 2.0 for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 is released on Oct 26, 2009.[5]
