The main class is SMS_SoftwareUpdate Server WMI Class, representing a software update, which is a type of configuration item. For more information, see Software Updates Overview.

Some of the classes that are defined for software updates are applicable to all types of configuration items, not just software updates. An example is SMS_CIAllCategories Server WMI Class.

The Configuration Manager 2007 server class schema is a set of WMI classes that represents the objects found 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.
