The SMS_SoftwareConversionRules Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class is an SMS Provider server class, in System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager, that describes the rules to convert the company or product name resource string into a standard name for software inventory. For example, different Microsoft products might contain variations of the Microsoft company name, for example, "Microsoft Corporation" or "Microsoft."

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

Class SMS_SoftwareConversionRules : SMS_BaseClass
{
     String ConvertType;
     String NewName;
     String OriginalName;
     UInt32 RuleId; 
};
