This example shows how to retrieve lazy properties. The assigned schedule properties for advertisements are lazy. Therefore, when querying advertisements, each advertisement instance must be retrieved separately and the assigned schedule properties must be parsed separately.

For more information on lazy properties, see SMS Objects.

To read a lazy property

  1. Connect to an SMS Provider, and get the SWbemServices object.

  2. Get a collection of all advertisements:

    Set colAdvertisements = objSWbemServices.ExecQuery("Select * From SMS_Advertisement")

  3. Iterate through the advertisement collection and display the lazy properties:

    For Each objAdvert In colAdvertisements
	 WScript.Echo "ActionInProgress = " & objAdvert.ActionInProgress
	 WScript.Echo "AdvertFlags = " & objAdvert.AdvertFlags
	 WScript.Echo "AdvertisementID = " & objAdvert.AdvertisementID
	 WScript.Echo "AdvertisementName = " & objAdvert.AdvertisementName
	 'For the lazy properties, get the advertisements individually.
	 Set lazyproperties = objSWbemServices.Get("SMS_Advertisement.AdvertisementID='" & ObjAdvert.advertisementid & "'")
	 WScript.Echo "Assigned Schedule = {"	 
	 for i=0 to ubound(lazyproperties.assignedschedule,1)
			WScript.Echo " instance of " & lazyproperties.Properties_("AssignedSchedule").Value(0).Path_.Class
	WScript.Echo lazyproperties.Properties_("AssignedSchedule").Qualifiers_("CIMType")
			WScript.Echo "   DayDuration: " & lazyproperties.AssignedSchedule(i).DayDuration
			WScript.Echo "   Hourspan: " & lazyproperties.AssignedSchedule(i).HourSpan
			WScript.Echo "   IsGMT: " & lazyproperties.AssignedSchedule(i).IsGMT
			WScript.Echo "   StartTime: " & lazyproperties.AssignedSchedule(i).StartTime
			WScript.Echo "AssignedScheduleEnabled = " & lazyproperties.AssignedScheduleEnabled
		WScript.Echo "AssignedScheduleIsGMT = " & lazyproperties.AssignedScheduleIsGMT
   next
	 WScript.Echo "}"	 
	 WScript.Echo "CollectionID = " & objAdvert.CollectionID
	 WScript.Echo "Comment = " & objAdvert.Comment
Next
