The SMS_DistributionPoint Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class is an SMS Provider server class, in Configuration Manager, that represents a distribution point from which a given package has been distributed to clients.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties.

 
Class SMS_DistributionPoint : SMS_BaseClass 
{ 
      Boolean BitsEnabled; 
      Boolean IsFileStreaming;
      Boolean IsPeerDP; 
      Boolean IsProtected; 
      UInt8 ISVData[]; 
      UInt32 ISVDataSize; 
      DateTime LastRefreshTime; 
      String PackageID; 
      Boolean RefreshNow; 
      String ResourceType; 
      String ServerNALPath; 
      String SiteCode; 
      String SiteName; 
      String SourceSite; 
      UInt32 Status; 
};

Methods

The SMS_DistributionPoint class does not define any methods.

Properties

BitsEnabled
Data type: Boolean

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: [read]

true if the distribution point is BITS-enabled. The default value is false.

IsFileStreaming
Data type: Boolean

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: [read]

true if the distribution point has been enabled for streaming virtual application packages. BitsEnabled must also be set to true for a standard distribution point. BitsEnabled will be false for a branch distribution point. The default value is false.

IsPeerDP
Data type: Boolean

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: [read]

true if the distribution point is a branch distribution point. The default value is false.

IsProtected
Data type: Boolean

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: [read]

true if the distribution point site system is protected. The default value is false.

ISVData
Data type: UInt8 Array

Access type: Read/Write

Qualifiers: [ResID(1010), ResDLL("SMS_RSTT.dll"), large, lazy]

Values allow a single ISV to store data that relates to the SMS_Program Server WMI Class object associated with the package. For more information, see the Remarks section later in this topic.

ISVDataSize
Data type: UInt32

Access type: Read/Write

Qualifiers: [lazy, ResID(1009), ResDLL("SMS_RSTT.dll")]

The size of the data indicated by ISVData. The default value is 0.

LastRefreshTime
Data type: DateTime

Access type: Read/Write

Qualifiers: [ResID(1006),ResDLL("SMS_RSTT.dll")]

Date and time of when the package was last updated on the distribution server. The default value is "19900101000000.000000+***".

PackageID
Data type: String

Access type: Read/Write

Qualifiers: [key, ResID(1001), ResDLL("SMS_RSTT.dll")]

ID for the package that was distributed to this distribution point. The default value is "".

RefreshNow
Data type: Boolean

Access type: Read/Write

Qualifiers: [ResID(1007),ResDLL("SMS_RSTT.dll")]

true to signal Configuration Manager to update the package on the distribution point. The update is distribution point-specific and is equivalent to the Refresh Distribution Point action in the Configuration Manager console. This package update copies the latest content from the source of the package to a specific distribution point, so that the distribution point has the latest version. The source version of the package is not incremented, and the package content is not replicated to child sites. The default value is false.

ResourceType
Data type: String

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: [read]

The resource type of the distribution point. The default value is "".

ServerNALPath
Data type: String

Access type: Read/Write

Qualifiers: [key, ResID(1002), ResDLL("SMS_RSTT.dll")]

Network abstraction layer (NAL) path to the distribution point server. The default value is "". For more information, see the Remarks section later in this topic.

SiteCode
Data type: String

Access type: Read/Write

Qualifiers: [key, SizeLimit("3"), ResID(1003), ResDLL("SMS_RSTT.dll")]

Site code of the site that this distribution point belongs to. The default value is "".

The value that is furnished for this property must match the value of ServerNALPath. Your application retrieves the value from SMS_SystemResourceList Server WMI Class. For more information, see the Remarks section later in this topic.

SiteName
Data type: String

Access type: Read/Write

Qualifiers: [ResID(1004), ResDLL("SMS_RSTT.dll")]

Friendly name of the site where the package originates. The default value is "".

SourceSite
Data type: String

Access type: Read/Write

Qualifiers: [SizeLimit("3"), ResID(1005), ResDLL("SMS_RSTT.dll")]

Site code of the site where the package originates. The default value is "".

Status
Data type: UInt32

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: [read, enumeration, ResID(1008), ResDLL("SMS_RSTT.dll")]

Current status of the package on the distribution point. Possible values are listed below. For more information, see the Remarks section later in this topic.

0

NONE

1

UPDATED

2

ADDED

3

DELETED

Remarks

There are no special class qualifiers for this class. For more information about both the class qualifiers and the property qualifiers included in the Properties section, see Configuration Manager Class and Property Qualifiers.

A distribution point is always associated with a particular package, and a package can have several distribution points.

Your application cannot change the PackageID property after the distribution point is created. To associate the distribution point with a different package, the application must delete the SMS_DistributionPoint object and create a new instance with a new PackageID value.

The SMS_SystemResourceList Server WMI Class class contains a list of the available distribution points and their NAL paths. Your application should select the NALPath property of SMS_SystemResourceList that corresponds to a RoleName property setting of "SMS Distribution Point".

When your application deletes an instance of SMS_DistributionPoint, the instance is not totally deleted until its related components are deleted. Instead, Configuration Manager sets the Status property to 3 (delete) to inform the application that the distribution point is marked for deletion. To ensure that a query does not retrieve distribution points that have been deleted (marked for deletion), your application should add this case to its WHERE clause.

There are no restrictions or defined formats for the data that is indicated by ISVData. However, it is important that after ISV ownership of this property has been established, it should not be overwritten. Therefore, the application should first read the existing data in this property. If the data does not belong to the caller, it should not be modified. Any ISV or application that is using this property should include an identifier in the data so that the ownership can be easily established.
