In Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, you move one or more console folders from one location to another by using the SMS_ObjectContainerNodeMoveFolders Method in Class SMS_ObjectContainerNode method. To move a set of folders, call MoveFolders passing an array of folder identifiers (SMS_ObjectContainerNode.ContainerNodeID) and the destination folder identifier (SMS_ObjectContainerNode.ContainerNodeID).

Note

A folder can be moved only within its own folder type (SMS_ObjectContainerNode.ObjectType) folder tree. For example, attempting to move a query folder to a package folder fails.

There is no SMS_ObjectContainerNode object for the root folder. When it is necessary, the root folder can be identified by the value 0.

To move a console folder

Set up a connection to the SMS Provider. For more information, see About the SMS Provider in Configuration Manager.
Create an array of the source folders identifiers (SMS_ObjectContainerNode class ContainerNodeID property).
Call the SMS_ObjectContainerNode class MoveFolders property and supply the source identifiers and an identifier for the target console folder.

Example

The following example moves a single console folder, identified by the parameter sourceContainerID to the folder identified by the parameter destinationContainerID.

For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.

Sub MoveConsoleFolder( connection,  sourceContainerID, destinationContainerID)

    Dim inParameters
    Dim folderClass
    Dim sourceFolders
    
       
    On Error Resume Next
    
    ' Moving only one folder.
    sourceFolders = Array(sourceContainerID)
    
    ' Obtain the class definition object of a SMS_ObjectContainerNode object.
    Set folderClass = connection.Get("SMS_ObjectContainerNode")
    
    If Err.Number<>0 Then
        Wscript.Echo "Couldn't get container node object"
        Exit Sub
    End If

    ' Set up the in parameter.
    Set inParameters = folderClass.Methods_("MoveFolders").InParameters.SpawnInstance_
        
    inParameters.ContainerNodeIDs =  sourceFolders
    inParameters.TargetContainerNodeID =  destinationContainerID
    

    ' Call the method.
    Call connection.ExecMethod( "SMS_ObjectContainerNode", "MoveFolders", inParameters)
    If Err.Number<>0 Then
        Wscript.Echo "Couldn't call method"
        Exit Sub
    End If
      
End Sub

public void MoveConsoleFolder(WqlConnectionManager connection, Int32 sourceContainerID, Int32 destinationContainerID)
{
    try
    {
        Dictionary<string, object> parameters = new Dictionary<string, object>();
        Int32[] sourceFolders = new Int32[1];//we're only moving one folder hence an array size of 1.

        sourceFolders[0] = sourceContainerID;
        parameters.Add("ContainerNodeIDs", sourceFolders);
        parameters.Add("TargetContainerNodeID", destinationContainerID);
        connection.ExecuteMethod("SMS_ObjectContainerNode", "MoveFolders", parameters);
    }
    catch (SmsException e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Failed to move folder. Error: " + e.Message);
        throw;
    }
}

The example method has the following parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
connection	Managed: WqlConnectionManager VBScript: SWbemServices	A valid connection to the SMS Provider.
sourceContainerID	Managed: Int32 VBScript: Integer	The node identifier for the source folder. For more information, see the ContainerNodeIDs parameter of the SMS_ObjectContainerNode class MoveFolders method.
destinationContainerID	Managed: Int32 VBScript: Integer	The identifier for the node the source folder is moved to. For more information, see the TargetContainerNodeID parameter of the SMS_ObjectContainerNode class MoveFolders method.
