Configuration Manager Console Management Class XML
The management classes XML for the Configuration Manager console are located %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Endpoint Manager\AdminConsole\XmlStorage\ConsoleRoot\ManagementClassDescriptions.xml file. Your extension management class XML files, however, must be placed in the AdminConsole\XmlStorage\Extensions\ManagementClasses\ folder.
The following XML defines an extension management class called "MyClass". The "MyClass" node is a subclass of the SMS_SiteControlItem management class, which is defined in the ConsoleRoot\ManagementClassDescriptions.xml.
<ManagementClassDescription Name="MyClass" SuperclassName="SMS_SiteControlItem" SecurityObjectAlias="SMS_Site"> <Properties> <ManagementClassPropertyDescription Name="RoleName"/> <ManagementClassPropertyDescription Name="SiteCode" /> </Properties></ManagementClassDescription>
You can also expose your own custom management class that is defined within an assembly. For example, the XML below defines a management class called _SDK. The _SDK class is defined in a custom assembly. Note that the management class must be defined using .NET from within the referenced assembly.
<ManagementClassDescription Name="_SDK"> <Properties> <ManagementClassPropertyDescription Name="MyProperty1"/> <ManagementClassPropertyDescription Name="MyProperty2"/> <ManagementClassPropertyDescription Name="MyProperty3"/> </Properties> <ResourceAssembly> <Assembly>UIExtensionsDemo.dll</Assembly> <Type>UIExtensionsDemo.ConnectionManager._SDK.resources</Type> </ResourceAssembly> <ImagesDescription> <ResourceAssembly> <Assembly>UIExtensionsDemo.dll</Assembly> <Type>UIExtensionsDemo.Resources.resources</Type> </ResourceAssembly> <ImageResourceName>ViewIcon</ImageResourceName> </ImagesDescription></ManagementClassDescription>
