Properties

Properties

The Win32_LogicalProgramGroup class has these properties.

Caption

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Short description of the object.

Description

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Description of the object.

GroupName

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Name of the Windows program group. Program groups are implemented as file folders in Win32.

Example: "Accessories\System Tools"

InstallDate

Data type: datetime
Access type: Read-only

Date the object is installed. This property does not need a value to indicate that the object is installed.

Name

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: Key, MaxLen (256)

User-assigned name followed by the group name. Program groups are implemented as file folders in Win32.

Example: "All Users:Accessories\System Tools"

Status

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

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.

The values are:

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

UserName

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Users who can access the Windows program group. Program groups are implemented as file folders in Win32.

Example: "All Users"

Remarks

The Win32_LogicalProgramGroup class is derived from Win32_ProgramGroupOrItem.

The calling process that uses this class must have the SE_RESTORE_NAME privilege on the computer in which the registry resides. For example, if you enumerate this class on the local computer, the account under which your application runs must have this privilege. For more information, see Executing Privileged Operations.
