How to Create a Maintenance Window for a Collection

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

Your application can create a Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 maintenance window by using the SMS_CollectionSettings Server WMI Class and SMS_ServiceWindow Server WMI Class classes and properties.

To create a maintenance window

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

  2. Get the existing collection settings instance by using the supplied collection ID.

  3. Create and populate the properties of a new service window object by using the SMS_ServiceWindow Server WMI Class class.

  4. Add the new SMS_ServiceWindow object to the collection settings instance obtained earlier.

  5. Save the collection settings instance and properties.

Note

The example below includes additional steps, primarily to handle the overhead of dealing with the maintenance window objects, which are stored as embedded objects in the collection settings instance.

Example

The following example method creates a maintenance window for a collection, assuming that the collection instance can modified. This might not be the case at child sites, where the collections are owned by the parent site(s).

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

Sub CreateMaintenanceWindow(connection,                                 _
                            targetCollectionID,                         _

    Set tempServiceWindowObject = connection.Get("SMS_ServiceWindow").SpawnInstance_

    ' Populate the local array list with the existing service window objects (from the target collection).
    tempServiceWindowArray = collectionSettingsInstance.ServiceWindows
  
    ' Add the newly created service window object to the temporary array.
    ReDim Preserve tempServiceWindowArray (Ubound(tempServiceWindowArray) + 1)
    Set tempServiceWindowArray(Ubound(tempServiceWindowArray)) = tempServiceWindowObject
    
    ' Replace the existing service window objects from the target collection with the temporary array that includes the new service window.
    collectionSettingsInstance.ServiceWindows = tempServiceWindowArray
    
    ' Save the collection settings instance with the new service window object.
    collectionSettingsInstance.Put_
    
    ' Output success message.
    wscript.echo "New Maintenance Window created."
