Example

The following example method sets the management point for a Configuration Manager client by using the SMSClientClass object SetCurrentManagementPoint method. The example sets the management point by using the computer name. To set the management point with the IP address, you pass 1 (SmsClient_MPProtocolEnum.SmsClient_MPProtocol_OS) as the second parameter. The following example also displays the current and updated management point using GetCurrentManagmentPoint.

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

Sub SetCurrentManagementPoint (computerName)

    On Error Resume Next

    Dim oSMSClient

    Set oSMSClient = CreateObject ("Microsoft.SMS.Client")

    If Err.Number <>0 Then 
        WScript.Echo "Could not create SMS Client Object - quitting"
        Exit Sub
    End If

    WScript.Echo "Current Management Point is : " & _
        oSMSClient.GetCurrentManagementPoint

    ' Set management point to given computer name.
    oSMSClient.SetCurrentManagementPoint computerName,0

    WScript.Echo "Current Management Point is now : " & _
        oSMSClient.GetCurrentManagementPoint

    Set oSMSClient=Nothing

End Sub

public void SetCurrentManagementPoint(string computerName)
{
    try
    {
        SmsClientClass client = new SmsClientClass();

        Console.WriteLine("Current management point is: " + 
            client.GetCurrentManagementPoint());

        client.SetCurrentManagementPoint(computerName,
            _SmsClient_MPProtocolEnum.SmsClient_MPProtocol_OS);

        Console.WriteLine("Current management point is now: " + 
             client.GetCurrentManagementPoint());
    }
    catch (COMException e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Failed to set the management point " + e.Message);
