Operating System Deployment Server WMI Classes

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

The Operating System Deployment server Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) classes are used to deploy operating systems in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007. They represent a number of packages that are used for deployment operations, in addition to task sequences and their various actions.

The Configuration Manager 2007 server class schema is a set of WMI classes that represent the objects on a server that is running Configuration Manager. Each Configuration Manager class is a template for a managed object, and all instances of the object use the template. Classes can contain properties and methods. The properties describe the class data and the methods typically perform data management.
