Win32_TSSessionDirectory class

  • Article

Defines the Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RD Connection Broker) configuration settings for the Win32_TSSessionDirectorySetting class.

Note

In Windows Server 2008 R2, the name of Terminal Services Session Broker (TS Session Broker) was changed to RD Connection Broker. These properties apply to all supported operating systems unless otherwise noted.

The following syntax is simplified from MOF code and includes all defined and inherited properties, in alphabetical order. For reference information about methods, see the table of methods later in this topic.

Status

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (10)

Current status of the object. Various operational and nonoperational statuses can be defined. Operational statuses include: "OK", "Degraded", and "Pred Fail" (an element, such as a SMART-enabled hard disk drive, may be functioning properly but predicting a failure in the near future). Nonoperational statuses include: "Error", "Starting", "Stopping", and "Service". The latter, "Service", could apply during mirror-resilvering of a disk, reload of a user permissions list, or other administrative work. Not all such work is on-line, yet the managed element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

("OK")

("Error")

("Degraded")

("Unknown")

("Pred Fail")

("Starting")

("Stopping")

("Service")

Remarks

To connect to the \\root\CIMV2\TerminalServices namespace, the authentication level must include packet privacy. For C/C++ calls, this is an authentication level of RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_PKT_PRIVACY. For Visual Basic and scripting calls, this is an authentication level of WbemAuthenticationLevelPktPrivacy or "pktPrivacy", with a value of six.

The following Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) example shows how to connect to a remote computer with packet privacy.

strComputer = "RemoteServer1" 
Set objServices = GetObject( _
    "winmgmts:{authenticationLevel=pktPrivacy}!Root/CIMv2/TerminalServices")

In Windows Server 2008, the name of the Terminal Services Session Directory feature was changed to Terminal Services Session Broker.

In Windows Server 2008 R2, the name of the Terminal Services Session Broker feature was changed to Remote Desktop Connection Broker.

Managed Object Format (MOF) files contain the definitions for Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) classes. MOF files are not installed as part of the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK). They are installed on the server when you add the associated role by using the Server Manager. For more information about MOF files, see Managed Object Format (MOF).
