For more information, see Configuration Manager Software Updates.

The System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager server class schema is a set of WMI classes that represent the objects on a server running Configuration Manager. Each Configuration Manager class is a template for a managed object and all instances of the object use the template. Classes can contain properties and methods. The properties describe the class data, and the methods typically perform data management. For more information about developing applications using these classes, see About Configuration Manager SDK Requirements.
