How to View the Configuration Manager Client Components

Applies To: System Center Configuration Manager 2007, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2

In Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, you view Configuration Manager client component information by retrieving the components collection from the CPAppletMgr object GetClientComponents method.

To view the Configuration Manager client components

  1. Get the Configuration Manager client Control Panel manager object (CPAppletMgr).

  2. From CPAppletMgr, call GetClientComponents to retrieve a collection of Configuration Manager client components.

  3. Loop through the collection and display the component information.

Example

The following example method gets the Configuration Manager client components and displays information about each one.

For information about calling the sample code, see How to Call Configuration Manager COM Automation Objects.

Sub DisplayClientComponents 

    On Error Resume Next
    
    Dim oCPAppletMgr ' Control Applet manager object
    Dim oClientComponent ' Individual client component
    Dim oClientComponents ' A collection of client components

    ' Get the Control Panel applet manager object.
    Set oCPAppletMgr=CreateObject("CPApplet.CPAppletMgr")
    If oCPAppletMgr Is Nothing Then
        Wscript.echo "Couldn't create control panel application manager"
        Exit Sub
    End If

    ' Get a collection of components.
    Set oClientComponents=oCPAppletMgr.GetClientComponents
    If oClientComponents Is Nothing Then
        wscript.echo "Couldn't get the client components"
        Set oCPAppletMgr=Nothing
        Exit Sub
    End If

    wscript.echo "There are " & oClientComponents.Count & " components"
    wscript.echo

    ' Display each client component.
    For Each oClientComponent In oClientComponents
        WScript.Echo oClientComponent.DisplayName 
        WScript.Echo "  Version: " & oClientComponent.Version
        WScript.StdOut.Write "  State: " 
        Select Case oClientComponent.State
            case 0  
                Wscript.Echo "Installed"
            case 1 : 
                WScript.Echo "Enabled"
            case 2 :
                WScript.Echo "Disabled"
        End Select

        Script.Echo 
    Next

    Set oClientComponents=Nothing
    Set oCPAppletMgr=Nothing

End Sub
public void DisplayClientComponents()
{
    try
    {
        CPAppletMgr cpAppletMgr = new CPAppletMgr();

        // Get the client components.
        ClientComponents clientComponents = cpAppletMgr.GetClientComponents();

        // Display client component information.
        foreach (ClientComponent component  in clientComponents)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(component.DisplayName);
            Console.WriteLine("  Version: " + component.Version);
            Console.Write("  State: ");

            switch (component.State)
            {
                case EComponentState.COMPONENT_STATE_INSTALLED:
                    Console.WriteLine("Installed");
                    break;
                case EComponentState.COMPONENT_STATE_ENABLED:
                    Console.WriteLine("Enabled");
                    break;
                case EComponentState.COMPONENT_STATE_DISABLED:
                    Console.WriteLine("Disabled");
                    break;
            }
            
            Console.WriteLine();
        }
    }
    catch (COMException e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Error displaying components: " + e.Message);
        throw;
    }
}
