The Configuration Manager 2007 server class schema is a set of WMI classes that represents the objects found on a server running Configuration Manager. Each Configuration Manager class is a template for a managed object and all instances of the object use the template. Classes can contain properties and methods. The properties describe the class data and the methods typically perform data management.
