WMI Formats
In general, the properties used by the anynode WMI integration uses standard data formats like string, uint32 and boolean. For date and time information the CIM format ‘datetime’ is used. The format is defined in the CIM standard, for convenience the format is described below as well.
CIM Format datetime
The CIM datatime format is specified in the format yyyymmddHHMMSS.mmmmmmsUUU. The following table lists the fields, the formats and specific settings done by the anynode WMI integration. If a property using the datetime format does not have a valid date the property is set to ‘00000000000000.000000+000’.
