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. This property is
provided to compare the last requested and current enabled or disabled states.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown - Indicates the last requested state for the element is
unknown.
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change
• 6 = Offline - Indicates that the element has been requested to transition
to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState.
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Deferred
• 9 = Quiesce
• 10 = Reboot - Refers to doing a "Shut Down" and then moving to an
"Enabled" state.
• 11 = Reset - Indicates that the element is first "Disabled" and then
"Enabled".
• 12 = Not Applicable
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
NOTE: 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). 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
