Reference Guide
Property Description
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.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown — Indicates the last requested state for the 
element is unknown.
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change
• 6 = Offline — Indicates that the element has been requested to 
transition to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState.
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Deferred
• 9 = Quiesce
• 10 = Reboot — Refers to doing a Shut Down and then moving 
to an Enabled state.
• 11 = Reset — Indicates that the element is first Disabled and 
then Enabled.
• 12 = Not Applicable
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
SystemCreationClassName
The CreationClassName of the scoping System.
SystemName 
The Name of the scoping System.
TransitioningToState
Indicates the target state to which the instance is transitioning. A 
value other than 5 or 12 identifies the state to which the element is 
in the process of transitioning.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change — Indicates 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
