| PROPERTY | SMS_REPORT | CIMTYPE | DESCRIPTION |
| Caption | | String | NA |
| CheckID | | String | An identifier used in conjunction with other keys to uniquely identify the check |
| CheckMode | | Boolean | The CheckMode property is used to indicate whether the condition is expected to exist or not exist in the environment. When the value is True, the condition is expected to exist (e.g., a file is expected to be on a system) so invoke() is expected to return True. When the value is False, the condition is not expect to exist (e.g., a file is not to be on a system) so invoke is expected to return false |
| Dependencies | | String | This column is a list of names of services or load ordering groups that the system must start before this service. Names in the list are separated by Nulls. If the service has no dependencies, then Null or an empty string is returned. Dependency on a group means that this service can run if at least one member of the group is running after an attempt to start all members of the group. |
| Description | | String | A description of the objects. |
| DisplayName | | String | This property is the string that user interface programs use to identify the service. |
| ErrorControl | | SInt32 | This column specifies the action taken by the startup program if the service fails to start during startup. One of the following error control flags must be specified in this column.
Adding the value 0x08000 to the flags in the following table specifies that the overall install will fail if the service cannot be installed into the system.
