PROPERTY	SMS_REPORT	CIMTYPE	DESCRIPTION
AccessMask		UInt32	The AccessMask property is a bit array representing the access rights as set remotely on the network share held by the user or group on whose behalf the instance is returned. This property is only supported under Windows NT and Windows 2000.
Caption		String	The Caption property is a short textual description (one-line string) of the object.
Comment		String	The Comment property contains a comment supplied by the network provider.
ConnectionState		String	The ConnectionState property indicates the current state of the network connection.
ConnectionType		String	The ConnectionType property indicates the persistence type of the connection used for connecting to the network. Example: Permanent.
Description		String	The Description property provides a textual description of the object.
DisplayType		String	The DisplayType property indicates how the network object should be displayed in a network browsing user interface. Example: Generic.
InstallDate		DateTime	The 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.
LocalName		String	The LocalName property indicates the local name of the connected network device. Example: c:\public.
Name		String	The Name property indicates the name of the current network connection. It is the combination of the value in the RemoteName property and the value in the LocalName property. Example: \\NTRELEASE (c:\public).
Persistent		Boolean	The Persistent property determines whether this connection will be reconnected automatically by the operating system on the next logon. Values: TRUE or FALSE. A value of TRUE indicates the network connection will be automatically connected.
ProviderName		String	The ProviderName property contains the name of the provider that owns the resource. This property can be NULL if the provider name is unknown.
RemoteName		String	The RemoteName property contains the remote network resource name for a network resource. For a current or persistent connection, RemoteName contains the network name associated with the name of the value in the LocalName property. The name in RemoteName must follow the network provider's naming conventions. Example: \\NTRELEASE.
RemotePath		String	The RemotePath property contains the full path to the network resource. Example: \\infosrv1\public
ResourceType		String	The ResourceType property identifies the type of resource to enumerate or connect to.
Status		String	The 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.
UserName		String	The UserName property contains the user name or the default user name used to establish a network connection. Example: SYSTEM.
