Reference Guide
Property Description
• 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
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".

SystemName
The Name of the scoping System.
TransitioningToState

transitioning.
