Property Description
EnabledState property description for explanations of the values in the RequestedState 
enumeration.
NOTE: The value No Change (5) has been deprecated instead of indicating the 
last requested state is Unknown (0). If the last requested or desired state is 
unknown, RequestedState should have the value Unknown (0), but may have 
the value No Change (5).
There are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState. 
These are Reboot (10) and Reset (11). Shut Down requests an orderly transition to the 
Disabled state, and may involve removing power, to completely erase any existing state. The 
Disabled state requests an immediate disabling of the element, such that it will not execute 
or accept any commands or processing requests.
This property is set as the result of a method invocation (such as Start or StopService on 
CIM_Service), or can be overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The method 
approach is considered superior to a WRITEable property, because it allows an explicit 
invocation of the operation and the return of a result code.
If knowledge of the last RequestedState is not supported for the EnabledLogicalElement, 
the property is NULL or has the value 12 Not Applicable.
TransitioningToState 
Indicates the target state to which the instance is transitioning.
• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change — ndicates that no transition is in progress.
• 6 = Offline
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Defer
• 9 = Quiesce
• 10 = Reboot
• 11 = Reset
• 12 = Not Applicable — Indicates the implementation does not support representing 
ongoing transitions.
A value other than 5 or 12 identifies the state to which the element is in the process of 
transitioning.
