The WriteToString Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class method, in System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager, writes an interval string from SMS_ScheduleToken Server WMI Class objects.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and defines the method.

Syntax

SInt32 WriteToString(
   SMS_ScheduleToken TokenData[],
   String StringData
);

Parameters

StringData
Data type: String

Qualifiers: [out]

The interval string (details in table below).
TokenData
Data type: SMS_ScheduleToken Array

Qualifiers: [in]

SMS_ScheduleToken Server WMI Class objects.

The ScheduleToken class uses two DWORDs to store the schedule data. 

Values for the first DWORD layed out as follows:
