How to Modify the Supported Platforms for a Program

Applies To: System Center Configuration Manager 2007, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2

Your application can add supported platforms to a package, in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, by obtaining specific instances of the SMS_Package Server WMI Class and SMS_Program Server WMI Class classes and then adding an instance of the SMS_OS_Details Server WMI Class class to the SupportedOperatingSystems property.

To modify the supported platforms for a program

  1. Set up a connection to the SMS Provider.

  2. Obtain an existing package object by using the SMS_Package class.

  3. Obtain an existing program object by using the SMS_Program class.

  4. Create and populate an instance of the SMS_OS_Details class.

  5. Add the new SMS_OS_Details instance to the SupportedOperatingSystems property of the program object (from step 3).

Example

The following example method shows how to add supported platforms for a program.

Note

A slight variation of this example could change property values for all of the programs associated with a specific package. For an example, see the How to List All Programs and Their Maximum Run Time Value code example. However, for a more efficient method of accessing a specific program, using the PackageID and ProgramName, see the How to Modify Program Properties code example.

For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.
