Property Description
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: 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".
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

The CreationClassName of the scoping system.

The System Name of the scoping system.
