CCM_SoftwareUpdate Client WMI Class

Article
06/29/2016

Applies To: System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1, System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager

The CCM_SoftwareUpdate WMI class is a client class, in Configuration Manager, that represents a software update.

Enumerating this class gives all the updates that are applicable and need to be installed. You can use GetObject to query for an individual update based on the UpdateID property. Each update object has properties equivalent to the old COM interface ICCMTargetedUpdate. For more details on individual properties you can refer to Configuration Manager 2007 ICCMTargetedUpdate interface. We have listed here only the differences between ICCMTargetedUpdate and CCM_SoftwareUpdate classes.

Important

The software update client side SDK will only return set of updates which are deployed to client from Configuration Manager site server, and are applicable, and are yet to be installed on the client.

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

Methods

The CCM_SoftwareUpdate class does not define any methods.

Properties

ArticleID
Data type: String

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: [read]

Identifier of the knowledge base article for the software update. The maximum length for this value is 64 characters.
BulletinID
Data type: String

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: [read]

Identifier of the bulletin for security updates released by Microsoft. The maximum length for this value is 64 characters. The default value is None.
ComplianceState
Data type: UInt32

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: [read]

Compliance state of the software update that indicates if the software update is missing and needs to be installed. The ciNotPresent state indicates missing updates. The following table shows other possible values for the ComplianceState property for software updates. Only values 0, 1, and 2 are used by software update management.

Value

State

0

ciNotPresent

1

ciPresent

2

ciPresenceUnknown (also used for not applicable)

3

ciEvaluationError

4

ciNotEvaluated

5

ciNotUpdated

6

ciNotConfigured
ContentSize
Data type: UInt32

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: [read]

Size of the software update content.

Note

This property is only available after the software update is downloaded into Configuration Manager cache, not before.
Deadline
Data type: Datetime

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: [read]

Date and time when the software update is installed.
Description
Data type: String

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: [read]

Description of the software update.
ErrorCode
Data type: UInt32

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: [read]

Error code, if any, associated with the software update.

Value	State
0	ciNotPresent
1	ciPresent
2	ciPresenceUnknown (also used for not applicable)
3	ciEvaluationError
4	ciNotEvaluated
5	ciNotUpdated
6	ciNotConfigured

EvaluationState
Data type: UInt32

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: [read]

Evaluation state of the software update. Once the InstallUpdates method in the CCM_SoftwareUpdatesManager class is called to trigger installation of software updates, the EvaluationState, PercentComplete and ErrorCode properties can be used to monitor update progress.

Note

The EvaluationState property is only meant to evaluate progress, not to find the compliance state of a software update. When a software update is not in a progress state, the value of EvaluationState is none or available, depending on whether there was any progress at any point in the past. This is not related to compliance state. Also, if a software update was downloaded at activation time, the value of EvaluationState is none. This value only changes once an install is attempted on the software update.

The following table shows the values for the EvaluationState property for software updates.

Value	State
0	ciJobStateNone
1	ciJobStateAvailable
2	ciJobStateSubmitted
3	ciJobStateDetecting
4	ciJobStatePreDownload
5	ciJobStateDownloading
6	ciJobStateWaitInstall
7	ciJobStateInstalling
8	ciJobStatePendingSoftReboot
9	ciJobStatePendingHardReboot
10	ciJobStateWaitReboot
11	ciJobStateVerifying
12	ciJobStateInstallComplete
13	ciJobStateError
14	ciJobStateWaitServiceWindow
15	ciJobStateWaitUserLogon
16	ciJobStateWaitUserLogoff
17	ciJobStateWaitJobUserLogon
18	ciJobStateWaitUserReconnect
19	ciJobStatePendingUserLogoff
20	ciJobStatePendingUpdate
21	ciJobStateWaitingRetry
22	ciJobStateWaitPresModeOff
23	ciJobStateWaitForOrchestration
