Properties

DeploymentID

Identifier of the device imaging deployment. This is a unique read-only value assigned when the device imaging deployment object is created.

CollectionID

Identifier of the existing device collection, which is the target of the deployment.

DeploymentName

Name of the deployment. This value must be unique.

DeploymentComment

Description of, or comment about the deployment.

DeploymentStatus

Status of the image deployment. This is a read-only value.

IncludeSubCollection

Set to Trueif the deployment object includes subcollections of the specified collection; otherwise, set to False.

OEMPluginID

ImageFileLocation

Location of the image file. The location can be specified as a UNC path or other value, such as a GUID.

StartTimeEnabled

Set to Trueif the deployment is to start at a specified time; otherwise, set to False.

StartTimeIsGMT

Set to Trueif StartTimeis in Coordinated Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time); otherwise, set to False.

ExpirationTimeEnabled

Set to Trueif the deployment is to expire at a specified time; otherwise, set to False.

ExpirationTimeIsGMT

Set to Trueif EndTimeis in Coordinated Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time); otherwise, set to False.

RemoteServerName

Name of a remote imaging server that hosts the device imaging solution, which may be the same server that hosts the device imaging component. This value is returned by the device imaging interface.

StartTime

Date and time for the deployment to start.

ExpirationTime

Date and time that the deployment expires.

JobCreationTime

Date and time that the device imaging request is created.

Methods

The following table shows the methods in the EDM_ImageDeploymentclass.

Method

Description

EDM_ImageDeployment::BeginImageDeployment

Triggers the start of a device imaging deployment using the given deployment identifier.

EDM_ImageDeployment::CreateInstance

Creates a device imaging deployment.

EDM_ImageDeployment::SuspendImageDeployment

Suspends a device imaging deployment that is in progress.

EDM_ImageDeployment::TerminateImageDeployment

Terminates a device imaging deployment.

EDM_ImageDeployment::Update

Updates the properties of a device imaging deployment.

Remarks

Starting with the current release, the standard Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Putmethod is not supported for the EDM_ImageDeploymentclass. Calling this method will cause an Invalid Class (WBEM_E_INVALID_CLASS)exception. Use the EDM_ImageDeployment::Updatemethod as a replacement for the standard WMI Putmethod.
