Win32_ComponentCategory class
The Win32_ComponentCategory WMI class represents a component category. Component categories are groups of Component Object Model (COM) classes with a defined functionality set shared between them. A client using these interfaces queries the registry for the category title and unique identifier called CategoryID, which is created from a globally unique identifier (GUID).
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

-
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.
-
-
CategoryId
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: key, MaxLen (16), MappingStrings ("Win32API|Component Categories|CATEGORYINFO|catid")
GUID for this component category.
-
-
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: Override ("Name"), MappingStrings ("Win32API|Component Categories|CATEGORYINFO|szDescription")
The Name property indicates a descriptive name of this component category.
-
-
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")
Remarks
The Win32_ComponentCategory class is derived from CIM_LogicalElement.
