Property Description
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".
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 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.

properties of this class, this property allows all instances of
this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.
