You configure Automatic Software Metering Rule Generation settings, in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, by modifying the site control file.

To configure automatic software metering rule generation

Set up a connection to the SMS Provider.
Make a connection to the Software Metering Client Agent section of the site control file by using the SMS_SCI_ClientComp class.
Loop through the array of available properties, making changes as needed.
Commit the property changes to the site control file.

Example

The following example method configures various Software Metering Rule Generation settings by using the SMS_SCI_ClientComp class to connect to the site control file and change properties.

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