PROPERTYSMS_REPORTCIMTYPEDESCRIPTION
CaptionStringThe Caption property is a short textual description (one-line string) of the object.
ClientAccessibleBooleanThe ClientAccessible property is indicates whether the shadow copy was created by the Windows Previous Versions component.
CountUInt32The Count property is the number of shadow copies in the shadow copy set to which this shadow copy belongs.
DescriptionStringThe Description property provides a textual description of the object.
DeviceObjectStringThe DeviceObject property is the Windows object manager name of the underlying storage device that supports the original volume.
DifferentialBooleanThe Differential property indicates whether the shadow copy was created by a differential shadow copy provider. The provider can be implemented in hardware or software.
ExposedLocallyBooleanThe ExposedLocally property indicates whether the shadow copy is exposed on the local machine with a drive letter or mount point. If this flag and the ExposedRemotely flag is not set, the shadow copy is hidden.
ExposedNameStringThe ExposedName property is the file system name of the shadow copy when it is exposed. This property might contain a drive letter or mount point. This property is NULL when the shadow copy is hidden or otherwise not exposed.
ExposedPathStringThe ExposedPath property is the file system path of the shadow copy when it is exposed. This property is NULL when the shadow copy is hidden or otherwise unexposed.
ExposedRemotelyBooleanThe ExposedRemotely property indicates whether the shadow copy is exposed on a remote machine with a network share. If this flag and the ExposedLocally flag is not set, the shadow copy is hidden.
HardwareAssistedBooleanThe HardwareAssisted property indicates whether the shadow copy was created by a hardware shadow copy provider.
IDStringThe ID property uniquely identifies the shadow copy on the system.
ImportedBooleanThe Imported property indicates whether the shadow copy was imported onto this machine using the Import method rather than created using the ShadowCopy create method.
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. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.
NoAutoReleaseBooleanThe NoAutoRelease property indicates whether the shadow copy is automatically deleted when the shadow copy requestor process ends. If this property is TRUE, the shadow copy is retained after the requestor process ends.
NotSurfacedBooleanThe shadow copy is not currently in the device namespace of the local machine.
NoWritersBooleanThe NoWriters property indicates whether the shadow copy was created with the involvement of shadow copy writer components.
OriginatingMachineStringThe OriginatingMachine property identifies the machine hosting the original volume.
PersistentBooleanThe Persistent property indicates whether the shadow copy is persistent across reboots.
PlexBooleanThe Plex property indicates whether the shadow copy was created by a split mirror shadow copy provider. The provider can be implemented in hardware or software.
ProviderIDStringThe ProviderID uniquely identifies the shadow provider that created the shadow.
ServiceMachineStringThe ServiceMachine property identifies the machine currently servicing the shadow copy.
SetIDStringThe SetID uniquely identifies the shadow copy set to which the shadow belongs.
StateUInt32The State property describes the current state of the shadow copy
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.
TransportableBooleanThe Transportable property indicates whether the shadow copy can be surfaced on another machine. If this property is FALSE and the volumes are surfaced locally, it may not be possible to surface them later on a different machine.
VolumeNameStringThe VolumeName property identifies the original volume for which the shadow copy was taken.
