Desired configuration management server Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) classes, in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, assist you in assessing computer compliance by considering a number of configurations, for example, installation and configuration of the correct Microsoft Windows operating system versions. You can also use these classes to check for compliance with software updates and security settings.
The main classes supporting the desired configuration management feature are:
- SMS_ConfigurationItem
Server WMI Class, representing a generic configuration
item.
- SMS_ConfigurationBaselineInfo
Server WMI Class, representing information for a baseline
configuration item.
- SMS_BaselineAssignment
Server WMI Class, representing an assignment of a baseline
configuration item.
For more information, see Desired Configuration Management Configuration Baselines and Configuration Items.
 Note |
|---|
| Some of the classes that are defined for desired configuration management, for example, SMS_ConfigurationBaselineInfo Server WMI Class, are specific to baseline configuration items. Some of the classes can also be used to reference software update configuration items, although applications use the software updates feature to manipulate these items. For more information, see Configuration Manager Software Updates. |
The Configuration Manager 2007 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.
