The SMS_Advertisement Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class is an SMS Provider server class, in Configuration Manager, that represents an advertisement used to announce software package programs that are available for running on clients.

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

Properties

  • ActionInProgress
    Data type: UInt32

    Access type: Read-only

    Qualifiers: [read, enumeration, ResID(733), ResDLL("SMS_RSTT.dll"), ResIDValueLookup("ActionInProgress")]

    Value Description

    UPDATE

    2

    ADD

  • AdvertFlags
    Data type: UInt32

    Access type: Read/Write

    Qualifiers: [bits, ResID(819), ResDLL("SMS_RSTT.dll")]

    Flags indicating how the advertisement should be announced to the user. Possible values are listed below. The default value is 0.

    Hex (Bit) Description

    0x00000020 (5)

    IMMEDIATE. Announce the advertisement to the user immediately.

    0x00000100 (8)

    ONSYSTEMSTARTUP. Announce the advertisement to the user on system startup.

    0x00000200 (9)

    ONUSERLOGON. Announce the advertisement to the user on logon.

    0x00000400 (10)

    ONUSERLOGOFF. Announce the advertisement to the user on logoff.

    0x00008000 (15)

    WINDOWS_CE. The advertisement is for a device client.

    0x00020000 (17)

    DONOT_FALLBACK. Do not fall back to unprotected distribution points.

    0x00040000 (18)

    ENABLE_TS_FROM_CD_AND_PXE. The task sequence is available to removable media and the pre-boot execution environment (PXE) service point.

    0x00100000 (20)

    OVERRIDE_SERVICE_WINDOWS. Override maintenance windows in announcing the advertisement to the user.

    0x00200000 (21)

    REBOOT_OUTSIDE_OF_SERVICE_WINDOWS. Reboot outside of maintenance windows.

    0x00400000 (22)

    WAKE_ON_LAN_ENABLED. Announce the advertisement to the user with Wake On LAN enabled.

    0x00800000 (23)

    SHOW_PROGRESS. Announce the advertisement to the user showing task sequence progress.

    0x02000000 (25)

    NO_DISPLAY. The user should not run programs independently of the assignment.

    0x04000000 (26)

    ONSLOWNET. Assignments are mandatory over a slow network connection.

    These flags must be coordinated with the flags that are specified in the ProgramFlags property of the advertised program. For example, if you set ONUSERLOGOFF, the NOUSERLOGGEDIN flag in the program must be set. If the flag settings do not match, the program is not advertised. For more information, see SMS_Program Server WMI Class.

    Setting IMMEDIATE, ONUSERLOGON, or ONUSERLOGOFF or providing an AssignedSchedule value makes the advertised program mandatory. A mandatory program is run automatically after the client has received the advertisement. The client cannot reject or postpone the installation.

    Set the NO_DISPLAY and ONSLOWNET bits only when the IMMEDIATE, ONUSERLOGON, or ONUSERLOGOFF bit is set or the program has an AssignedSchedule value.

    Set NO_DISPLAY when you do not want the user to run programs independently of the assignment. If you do not set this flag, the advertisement is shown in the list of advertisements and can be run independently of the assignment. The program can still be mandatory.

    Set ONSLOWNET when assignments are mandatory over a slow network connection, for example, when a computer connects using a modem.
