About the Live Communications Server Management API

The Microsoft® Office Live Communications Server Management API consists of a set of Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) classes used to manage Live Communications Server components. WMI uses the Common Information Model (CIM) industry standard to represent systems, applications, networks, devices, and other managed components. Each WMI class in the table below represents a Live Communications Server management object. Most class properties are exposed in the Live Communications Server management console. All properties are accessible using a scripting language, such as Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript), that supports ActiveX script hosting.

You can use WMI scripting to automate administrative tasks in your Live Communications Server deployment. You can also use WMI to remotely read or change WMI properties, but the computer running the script must either be a Live Communications server or have the Live Communications Server Administrator Tools installed. For more information on WMI scripting, see

The WMI classes for Live Communications Server 2005 with SP1 are organized by management level as follows:
