The management classes XML for the System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager console are located %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\XmlStorage\ConsoleRoot\ManagementClassDescriptions.xml file. Your extension management class XML files, however, must be placed in the AdminConsole\XmlStorage\Extensions\ManagementClasses\ folder.
The following XML defines an extension management class called “MyClass”. The “MyClass” node is a subclass of the SMS_SiteControlItem management class, which is defined in the ConsoleRoot\ManagementClassDescriptions.xml.

You can also expose your own custom management class that is defined within an assembly. For example, the XML below defines a management class called _SDK. The _SDK class is defined in a custom assembly. Note that the management class must be defined using .NET from within the referenced assembly.
