SMS_MachineVariable Server WMI Class

  • Article

The SMS_MachineVariable Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class is an SMS Provider server class in Configuration Manager that defines the settings of a task sequence variable that is unique to a specific computer.

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

{  
      Boolean IsMasked;  
      String Name;  
      String Value;  
};
