Management Group Overview
Applies To: System Center 2012 - Service Manager
[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]
The management group represents the data store and the management servers as a whole. You specify a management server name when you create the management group connection by instantiating the EnterpriseManagementGroup class. All the objects contained in that management group are accessed through this class.
The management group object represents your code-based connection to the Service Manager management group. To create this connection, you can use specific credentials or the executing credentials of the current program. The management group object enables you to query and explore the management group. The objects that result from querying or exploring can be manipulated if the credentials have sufficient permissions.
If your infrastructure contains multiple management groups, you must connect to them with separate EnterpriseManagementGroup objects. This way, if you change one management group’s data, the changes are not carried over to other management groups.
