RequestedState
An integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or desired 
state for the element, irrespective of the mechanism through 
which it was requested. The actual state of the element is 
represented by EnabledState. This property is provided to compare 
the last requested and current enabled or disabled states.
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 performing 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
NOTE: 
When EnabledState is set to 5 (Not Applicable), 
then this property has no meaning. See the 
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
