PROPERTYSMS_REPORTCIMTYPEDESCRIPTION
CaptionStringThe Caption property is a short textual description (one-line string) of the object.
CharacteristicDescriptionsStringAn array of free-form strings providing more detailed explanations for any of the BIOS features indicated in the Characteristics array. Note, each entry of this array is related to the entry in the Characteristics array that is located at the same index.
CharacteristicsUInt16An array of integers that specify the features supported by the BIOS. For example, one can specify that PnP capabilities are provided (value=9) or that infrared devices are supported (21). The value, 3, is not valid in the CIM schema since in DMI it represents that no BIOS features are supported. In this case, this object should not be instantiated.
DescriptionStringThe Description property provides a textual description of the object.
IdentifyingNumberStringProduct identification such as a serial number on software or a die number on a hardware chip
InstallDateDateTimeThe InstallDate property is datetime value indicating when the object was installed. A lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.
NameStringThe Name property defines the label by which the object is known to the world outside the data processing system. This label is a human-readable name that uniquely identifies the element in the context of the element's namespace.
ProductNameStringCommonly used product name
StatusStringThe Status property is a string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses can be defined. Operational statuses are "OK", "Degraded" and "Pred Fail". "Pred Fail" indicates that an element may be functioning properly but predicting a failure in the near future. An example is a SMART-enabled hard drive. Non-operational statuses can also be specified. These are "Error", "Starting", "Stopping" and "Service". The latter, "Service", could apply during mirror-resilvering of a disk, reload of a user permissions list, or other administrative work. Not all such work is on-line, yet the managed element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states.
VendorStringThe name of the product's supplier. Corresponds to the Vendor property in the product object in the DMTF Solution Exchange Standard.
VersionStringProduct version information. Corresponds to the Version property in the product object in the DMTF Solution Exchange Standard.
