Property Description
CreationClassName
Indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When 
used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this 
class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.
Dedicated 
Enumeration indicating the purpose(s) for which the ComputerSystem is dedicated, if any, 
and the functionality provided. For example, one could specify that the System is dedicated 
to Print (value = 11) or acts as a Hub (value = 8).
Also, a value = 0 indicates this is a general purpose system, Not Dedicated but that it also 
hosts Print (value = 11) or mobile phone Mobile User Device (value = 17) services.
A clarification is needed with respect to the value 17 (Mobile User Device). An example of 
a dedicated user device is a mobile phone or a barcode scanner in a store that 
communicates via radio frequency. These systems are quite limited in functionality and 
programmability, and are not considered 
general purpose computing platforms. 
Alternately, an example of a mobile system that is general purpose (that is, is NOT 
dedicated) is a hand-held computer. Although limited in its programmability, new software 
can be downloaded and its functionality expanded by the user.
The management scope of a Management Controller is typically a single managed system 
in which it is contained.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Not Dedicated
• 1 = Unknown
• 2 = Other
• 3 = Storage
• 4 = Router
• 5 = Switch
• 6 = Layer 3 Switch
• 7 = Central Office Switch
• 8 = Hub
• 9 = Access Server
