The SMS_MachineVariable Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class is an SMS Provider server class, in Configuration Manager, and it defines the settings of a task sequence variable that is unique to a specific computer. This variable can customize the behavior of a task sequence for a specific computer, and it overrides any definition that is set by SMS_CollectionVariable Server WMI Class. Machine variables are automatically replicated down through the site hierarchy. For example, if a variable is declared on the primary child site server, it will be available on the primary grandchild site server, but not on the primary site server.

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

Class SMS_MachineVariable
{
      Boolean IsMasked;
      String Name;
      String Value;
};

Methods

The SMS_MachineVariable class does not define any methods.

Properties

IsMasked
Data type: Boolean
