You create the state migration point role, in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, by creating an instance of SMS_SCI_SysResUse Server WMI Class and providing the property values in the following table.
Property | Description |
---|---|
RoleName |
Name of the role. For a state migration point, the value is SMS State Migration Point. |
SiteCode |
The site code for the site. |
NALPath |
The network abstraction layer (NAL) path to the state migration point. For more information, see PackNALPath Method in Class SMS_NAL_Methods. |
NALType |
The resource type. For a state migration point, this should be Windows NT Server. |
You will also need to set initial values for the following embedded properties and embedded property lists.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Server Remote Name |
The server that has the state migration point. Embedded property. |
SMPQuiesceState |
Sets the restore-only mode. For more information, see How to Set the Restore-Only Mode for a State Migration Point. Embedded property. |
SMPStoreDeletionDelayTimeInMinutes |
Sets the deletion policy. For more information, see How to Set the Deletion Policy for a State Migration Point. Embedded property. |
SMPStoreDeletionCycleTimeInMinutes |
Sets the deletion policy. For more information, see How to Set the Deletion Policy for a State Migration Point. |
Directories |
Lists the state migration point folders. For more information, see How to Add a State Migration Point Folder. |
To create a state migration point role
-
Set up a connection to the SMS Provider. For more information, see About the SMS Provider in Configuration Manager.
-
Create an instance of SMS_SCI_SysResUse Server WMI Class.
-
Populate the properties listed above.
-
Commit the SMS_SCI_SystResUse object.
Example
The following example method creates a state migration point from the supplied site code and NAL path. Some helper functions are provided for writing the embedded properties and embedded property lists to the site control file.

This example makes use of other state migration point code snippets to set various values. The methods AddSmpFolder, SetRestoreOnlyMode, SetDeletionPolicy are described in the below topics: The methods AddSmpFolder, SetRestoreOnlyMode, SetDeletionPolicy must be included for the example to work. The methods are not included in the code snippets below. |
