In Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, the site control file maintains configuration for the configuration of the site. This topic shows how to configure software distribution advertised programs client agent settings in the site control file. Details about reading from and writing to the site control file are discussed in the Configuration Manager Site Control File section of the Configuration Manager SDK.

Warning

You should be experienced in managing a site's configuration before using the SMS Provider classes to modify the site configuration. You should use caution or avoid using the SMS_SCI_FileDefinition and SMS_SCI_SiteDefinition classes altogether. These classes manage the site control file itself. You can cause significant damage to a site by changing some configurable items.

To configure client agent settings

  1. Set up a connection to the SMS Provider. For more information, see About the SMS Provider in Configuration Manager.

  2. Make a connection to the software distribution client component section of the site control file by using the SMS_SCI_ClientComp class.

  3. Loop through the array of available properties, making changes as needed.

  4. Commit the property changes to the site control file.

Example

The following example queries for specific items in the software distribution client component section of the site control file, and modifies those specific client agent settings.

For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.
