Caption
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Short textual description (one-line) of the object.
CreationClassName
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Name of the class or subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.
Description
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Textual description of the object.
InstallDate
Data type: datetime
Access type: Read-only
Date and time object was installed. This property does not need a value to indicate that the object is installed.
Name
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Unique identifier of the service which provides an indication of the functionality that is managed. This functionality is described in more detail in the object's Description property.

Status
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Current status of the object. Various operational and nonoperational statuses can be defined. Operational statuses include: "OK", "Degraded", and "Pred Fail" (an element, such as a SMART-enabled hard disk drive, may be functioning properly but predicting a failure in the near future). Nonoperational statuses include: "Error", "Starting", "Stopping", and "Service". The latter, "Service", could apply during mirror-resilvering of a disk, reload of a user permissions list, or other administrative work. Not all such work is online, yet the managed element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states.
Values are:
"OK"
"Error"
"Degraded"
"Unknown"
"Pred Fail"
"Starting"
"Stopping"
"Service"
SystemCreationClassName
