MSFT_Providers class

The MSFT_Providers class contains configuration information for providers.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

Members

The MSFT_Providers class has these types of members:

• Methods
• Properties

Methods

The MSFT_Providers class has these methods.

Properties

The MSFT_Providers class has these properties.

HostingGroup

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Key

Defines the second component of the __Win32Provider HostingModel property when the hosting model is one of the following:

• LocalSystemHost
• NetworkServiceHost
• LocalServiceHost
• LocalSystemHostOrSelfHost
• NetworkServiceHostOrSelfHost

The hosting group defines a grouping of providers in a separate Wmiprvse.exe process. Providers that share the same hosting model and hosting group share the same service host process.

HostingProcessIdentifier

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Process identifier that hosts the specific instance of the provider.

HostingSpecification

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Key

Defines the first component of the __Win32Provider HostingModel property. The hosting property is defined to be one of these value types.

WmiCore

Activate provider in host to the WMI service. This hosting model is only supported for operating system components.

Attempts to register providers with WmiCore fail with WBEM_E_ACCESS_DENIED.

WmiCoreOrSelfHost

Activate provider in host to the WMI service or as local server. This hosting model is only supported for operating system components.

Attempts to register providers with WmiCoreOrSelfHost fail with WBEM_E_ACCESS_DENIED.

SelfHost

Activate provider as a local server implementation.

Decoupled:Com

Activate provider as a decoupled COM provider. For more information about decoupled providers, see Incorporating a Provider in an Application.

Decoupled:NonCom

Activate provider as a non-COM event provider.

LocalSystemHost

Activate provider in the provider host process that is running under the LocalSystem account.

LocalSystemHostOrSelfHost

The provider is self-hosted or loaded into the Wmiprvse.exe process running under the LocalSystem account.

Note LocalSystemHostOrSelfHost is the default configuration that WMI sets when the HostingModel property in __Win32Provider is NULL. Because LocalSystem is a highly privileged account, an entry is generated in the Security Event Log to notify administrators of a provider running in this trusted status.

NetworkServiceHost

Activate provider in the provider host process that is running under the NetworkService account.

LocalServiceHost

Activate provider in the provider host process that is running under the LocalService account.

NetworkServiceHostOrSelfHost

The provider is self-hosted or loaded into the Wmiprvse.exe process running under the NetworkService account. NetworkServiceHostOrSelfHost is the default configuration when the HostingModel property in __Win32Provider is NULL. Because NetworkServiceHostOrSelfHost is the default, providers from earlier operating systems can continue to work in later operating systems.
