Property Description
This property is set as the result of a method invocation (such as Start or StopService on
CIM_Service), or can be overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The method
approach is considered superior to a WRITEable property, because it allows an explicit
invocation of the operation and the return of a result code.
If knowledge of the last RequestedState is not supported for the EnabledLogicalElement,
the property is NULL or has the value 12 Not Applicable.
SystemCreationClassName
The CreationClassName of the scoping System.
SystemName
The Name of the scoping System.
TransitioningToState
Indicates the target state to which the instance is transitioning.
• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change — Indicates that no transition is in progress.
• 6 = Offline
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Defer
• 9 = Quiesce
• 10 = Reboot
• 11 = Reset
• 12 = Not Applicable — Indicates that the implementation does not support representing
ongoing transitions.
A value other than 5 or 12 identifies the state to which the element is in the process of
transitioning.
SetBIOSAttributes (Method)
This method is called to modify a group of BIOSAttribute instances associated with this
BIOSService. The method may return the following errors:
• 0 (Success) — If the method is completed successfully.
• 1 (Failure) — If
• the possible value is out of range. For example, trying to set value other than 0 to 23
for the attribute Autoon Hour.
• it is an unsupported BIOS operation. For example, trying to enable TPM when TPM
is disabled.
• 2 (Authentication failure) — If the BIOS password is incorrect.
• 4294967295 (Invalid Possible Value) — If the possible value is invalid; or read-only.
The method may return an instance of CIM_Error.
RemoteBIOSUpdate (Method)
This method is called to remotely update the BIOS image. It takes the hdr file of the BIOS
image as the only parameter.

Property Description
CreationClassName
Indicates the name of the class or the subclass that is used in the creation of an instance.
When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of
this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.

Enabled State of an element.
