Property Description
represented by EnabledState. This property is provided to compare 
the last requested and current enabled or disabled states. Note 
that when EnabledState is set to 5 (Not Applicable), then this 
property has no meaning. Refer to the EnabledState property 
description for explanations of the values in the RequestedState 
enumeration. Unknown (0) indicates the last requested state for 
the element is unknown.
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).Offline (6) indicates 
that the element has been requested to transition to the 
Enabled but Offline EnabledState. 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 pro
