A Configuration Manager interval string is an internal representation of a schedule token, represented by an SMS_ScheduleToken Server WMI Class object. System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager interval strings are not of the same format as WMI interval strings.

This class is not used to convert schedule tokens to or from the friendly scheduling strings, for example, "Occurs every 1 day(s) effective 9:27AM Tuesday", found in the System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager console.
