The following example shows how to configure the properties of an existing package, in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, by using the SMS_Package Server WMI Class class.

To configure an existing package

Set up a connection to the SMS Provider. For more information, see About the SMS Provider in Configuration Manager.
Load the existing package object by using SMS_Package Server WMI Class class.
Populate any package properties (this example uses package description).
Save the package and the new package properties.

Example

The following example method configures package properties for software distribution.

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

Sub ConfigurePackageProperties(connection, existingPackageID, newPackageDescription)
    
    ' Get the specific package object. 
    Set packageToConfigure = connection.Get("SMS_Package.PackageID='" & existingPackageID & "'")
    
    ' Replace the existing package property (in this case the package description).
    packageToConfigure.Description = newPackageDescription
        
    ' Save the package with the modified properties.
    packageToConfigure.Put_
    
    ' Output package ID and package name.
    wscript.echo "Configured Package "  
    wscript.echo "Package ID:        "  & packageToConfigure.PackageID
    wscript.echo "Package Name:      "  & packageToConfigure.Name

End Sub

public void ConfigurePackageProperties(WqlConnectionManager connection, string existingPackageID, string newPackageDescription)
{
    try
    {
        // Get specific package instance to modify.
        IResultObject packageToConfigure = connection.GetInstance(@"SMS_Package.PackageID='" + existingPackageID + "'");

        // Replace the existing package property with the new value (in this case the package description).
        packageToConfigure["Description"].StringValue = newPackageDescription;

        // Save package and modified package properties.
        packageToConfigure.Put();

        // Output package ID and package name.
        Console.WriteLine("Configured Package ");
        Console.WriteLine("Package ID:        " + packageToConfigure["PackageID"].StringValue);
        Console.WriteLine("Package Name:      " + packageToConfigure["Name"].StringValue);
    }

    catch (SmsException ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Failed to configure package. Error: " + ex.Message);
        throw;
    }
}
