The actual state of the element is represented by EnabledState. 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. Refer to 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). Offline (6) indicates that the element has been
requested to transition to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState.
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.
If knowledge of the last RequestedState is not supported for the
EnabledLogicalElement, the property is NULL or has the value 12 "Not
Applicable".
TransitioningToState
Indicates the target state to which the instance is transitioning.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change - Indicates that no transition is in progress.
