Name
The Name property uniquely identifies the Service and provides an indication of the
functionality that is managed. This functionality is described in more detail in the
Description property of the object.
RequestedState
An integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or desired state for the
element, irrespective of the mechanism through which it was requested. The actual
state of the element is represented by EnabledState.
Possible values are:
0 = UnknownIndicates that the last requested state for the element is
unknown.
2 = Enabled
3 = Disabled
4 = Shut Down
5 = No Change
6 = OfflineIndicates that the element has been requested to transition to the
Enabled but Offline EnabledState.
7 = Test
8 = Deferred
9 = Quiesce
10 = RebootRefers to doing a Shut Down and then moving to an Enabled
state.
11 = ResetIndicates that the element is first Disabled and then Enabled.
12 = Not Applicable
.. = DMTF Reserved
32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
This property is provided to compare the last requested and current enabled or
disabled states. Note that when EnabledState is set to 5 (Not Applicable), then
this property has no meaning. See the EnabledState property description for
explanations of the values in the RequestedState enumeration.
NOTE:
The value No Change (5) has been deprecated instead of indicating the
last requested state is Unknown (0). If the last requested or desired state is
unknown, RequestedState should have the value Unknown (0), but may have
the value No Change (5).
There are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of
EnabledState. These are Reboot (10) and Reset (11). Shut Down requests an
orderly transition to the Disabled state, and may involve removing power, to
completely erase any existing state. The Disabled state requests an immediate
disabling of the element, such that it will not execute or accept any commands or
processing requests.
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.
