In Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, you configure the operating system deployment state migration point to reject new requests to store user data by setting the SMPQuiesceState embedded property.

SMPQuiesceState has two possible values.

Value Definition

0

Restore-only mode is turned off.

1

Restore-only mode is turned on.

To set the restore only mode for a state migration point

  1. Set up a connection to the SMS Provider. For more information, see About the SMS Provider in Configuration Manager.

  2. Make a connection to the state migration point resources section of the site control file.

  3. Get the embedded properties.

  4. Update SMPQuiesceState

  5. Commit the changes to the site control file.

Example

The following example method sets the restore-only mode based on supplied value.

For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.

Visual Basic Script  Copy Code
Sub SetRestoreOnlyMode(connection, 	_
					 context, 	 _
					 siteCode, 		 _
					 enableRestoreOnlyMode)

 
	' Load site control file and get SMS State Migration Point section.
	connection.ExecMethod "SMS_SiteControlFile.Filetype=1,Sitecode=""" & siteCode & """", "Refresh", , , context
	
	Query = "SELECT * FROM SMS_SCI_SysResUse " & _
			"WHERE RoleName = 'SMS State Migration Point' " & _
			"AND SiteCode = '" & siteCode & "'"

	Set SCIComponentSet = connection.ExecQuery(Query, , , context)
					 
	' Only one instance is returned from the query.
	For Each SCIComponent In SCIComponentSet

		 ' Display state migration point server name.
		 wscript.echo "SMS State Migration Point Server: " & SCIComponent.NetworkOSPath								

		' Loop through the array of embedded property instances.
		For Each vProperty In SCIComponent.Props
		
			' Setting: SMPQuiesceState
			If vProperty.PropertyName = "SMPQuiesceState" Then
				wscript.echo " "
				wscript.echo vProperty.PropertyName
				wscript.echo "Current value " &  vProperty.Value			 
			
				' Modify the value.
				vProperty.Value = enableRestoreOnlyMode
				wscript.echo "New value " & enableRestoreOnlyMode
			End If
 
			 
		Next   

			 ' Update the component in your copy of the site control file. Get the path
			 ' to the updated object, which could be used later to retrieve the instance.
			 Set SCICompPath = SCIComponent.Put_( , context)
	Next
					
	' Commit the change to the actual site control file.
	Set InParams = connection.Get("SMS_SiteControlFile").Methods_("CommitSCF").InParameters.SpawnInstance_
	InParams.SiteCode = siteCode
	connection.ExecMethod "SMS_SiteControlFile", "CommitSCF", InParams, , context
End Sub
C#  Copy Code
public void SetRestoreOnlyMode(
	WqlConnectionManager connection,
	string server, 
	string siteCode, 
	bool enableRestoreOnlyMode)
{
	try
	{
		// Get the site control file.
		IResultObject ro = connection.GetInstance("SMS_SCI_SysResUse.FileType=2,ItemName='[\"Display=\\\\" + server + "\\\"]MSWNET:[\"SMS_SITE=" + siteCode + "\"]\\\\" + server + "\\,SMS State Migration Point',ItemType='System Resource Usage',SiteCode='" + siteCode + "'");

		// Get the embedded properties.
		Dictionary<string, IResultObject> embeddedProperties = ro.EmbeddedProperties;

		// Set the restore only mode.
		embeddedProperties["SMPQuiesceState"]["Value"].BooleanValue = enableRestoreOnlyMode;

		ro.EmbeddedProperties = embeddedProperties;

		// Commmit the changes.
		ro.Put();
}
	catch (SmsException e)
	{
		Console.WriteLine("Failed to set restore only mode" + e.Message);
		throw;
}
}

The example method has the following parameters:
