Remarks

Class qualifiers for this class include:

  • Association: ToInstance

For more information about both the class qualifiers and the property qualifiers included in the Properties section, see Configuration Manager Class and Property Qualifiers.

This class is the only association class that is not read-only. Although your application can use this class to modify the hierarchy of the collection, the preferred class to use is SMS_CollectToSubCollect Server WMI Class. Because the membership of the collection is defined by its subcollections, in addition to its collection rules, adding or deleting instances of this class modifies the parent collection. Thus, the application must modify rights to the parent collection to modify the collection hierarchy.
