Win32_DFSTarget class

Applies to: desktop apps only

The Win32_DFSTarget WMI class represents a target of a Distributed file system (DFS) node.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

Syntax

Copy

class Win32_DFSTarget : CIM_LogicalElement
{
  string   Caption;
  string   Description;
  datetime InstallDate;
  string   LinkName;
  string   Name;
  string   ServerName;
  string   ShareName;
  uint32   State;
  string   Status;
};

Members

The Win32_DFSTarget class has these types of members:

Properties

Properties

The Win32_DFSTarget class has these properties.

Caption

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)

Short description of the object. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

Description

Data type: string
Access type: Read/write

Comment that describes the link. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

InstallDate

Data type: datetime
Access type: Read-only

Date and time when the object was installed. This property does not need a value to indicate that the object is installed. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

LinkName

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: Key

Entry path of the node to which this target belongs.

Name

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the property can be overridden to be a key property. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

ServerName

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: Key

Name of the server that the node references.

ShareName

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: Key

String representing the name of the share that the node references.

State

Data type: uint32
Access type: Read-only

State of the target.

Value	Meaning
0	Offline
2	Online
4	Active

Status

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: MaxLen (10)

Current status of the object. Various operational and nonoperational statuses can be defined. Operational statuses include: "OK", "Degraded", and "Pred Fail" (an element, such as a SMART-enabled hard disk drive, may be functioning properly but predicting a failure in the near future). Nonoperational statuses include: "Error", "Starting", "Stopping", and "Service". The latter, "Service", could apply during mirror-resilvering of a disk, reload of a user permissions list, or other administrative work. Not all such work is online, yet the managed element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

The values are:

"OK"
"Error"
"Degraded"
"Unknown"
"Pred Fail"
"Starting"
"Stopping"
"Service"

Remarks

The Win32_DFSTarget class is derived from CIM_LogicalElement. You can only use this class on a DFS server. The WMI provider that implements the functionality of this class is installed when you install the file sharing server role.
