CIM_LogicalElement class (CIMWin32 WMI Providers)
The CIM_LogicalElement class is the base class for all system components that represent abstract system components, such as profiles, processes, or system capabilities, in the form of logical devices.
Important
The DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) CIM (Common Information Model) classes are the parent classes upon which WMI classes are built. WMI currently supports only the CIM 2.x version schemas.
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

Properties
The CIM_LogicalElement class has these properties.
-
Caption
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (64), DisplayName ("Caption")
A short textual description of the object.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
-
-
Description
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: DisplayName ("Description")
A textual description of the object.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
-
-
InstallDate
-
-
Data type: datetime
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5"), DisplayName ("Install Date")
Indicates when the object was installed. Lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
-
-
Name
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: DisplayName ("Name")
Label by which the object is known. When subclassed, this property can be overridden to be a key property.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
-
-
Status
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (10), DisplayName ("Status")
String that indicates the current status of the object. Operational and non-operational status can be defined. Operational status can include "OK", "Degraded", and "Pred Fail". "Pred Fail" indicates that an element is functioning properly, but is predicting a failure (for example, a SMART-enabled hard disk drive).
Non-operational status can include "Error", "Starting", "Stopping", and "Service". "Service" can apply during disk mirror-resilvering, reloading a user permissions list, or other administrative work. Not all such work is online, but the managed element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
Values include the following:
-
-
OK ("OK")
-
Error ("Error")
-
Degraded ("Degraded")
-
Unknown ("Unknown")
-
Pred Fail ("Pred Fail")
-
Starting ("Starting")
-
Stopping ("Stopping")
-
Service ("Service")
-
Stressed ("Stressed")
-
NonRecover ("NonRecover")
-
No Contact ("No Contact")
-
Lost Comm ("Lost Comm")

WMI does not implement this class. For classes derived from CIM_LogicalElement, see Win32 Classes.
