MSFT_SoftError class

Represents a soft error.

Soft errors can be returned by intrinsic methods (such as EnumerateInstances and GetInstance) to help distinguish between a query with no results (no error) and a query that fails for a specific reason.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code.

{
  UInt16 ErrorType;
  String OwningEntity;
  String MessageID;
  String Message;
  UInt16 PerceivedSeverity;
  String ErrorSource;

};
