SMS_SoftwareConversionRules

  • Article

The SMS_SoftwareConversionRules WMI class describes the rules to convert the company or product name resource string into a standard name for software inventory. For example, different Microsoft products may contain variations of the Microsoft company name such as Microsoft Corporation or just Microsoft. The rules let you specify what company name to use.

The following syntax is simplified from MOF code and includes all inherited properties.
