Configuration Manager Console Management Class XML

The management classes XML for the Configuration Manager console are located %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Endpoint Manager\AdminConsole\XmlStorage\ConsoleRoot\ManagementClassDescriptions.xml file. Your extension management class XML files, however, must be placed in the AdminConsole\XmlStorage\Extensions\ManagementClasses\ folder.

The following XML defines an extension management class called "MyClass". The "MyClass" node is a subclass of the SMS_SiteControlItem management class, which is defined in the ConsoleRoot\ManagementClassDescriptions.xml.

<ManagementClassDescription Name="MyClass" SuperclassName="SMS_SiteControlItem" SecurityObjectAlias="SMS_Site"> <Properties>          <ManagementClassPropertyDescription Name="RoleName"/>          <ManagementClassPropertyDescription Name="SiteCode" />     </Properties></ManagementClassDescription>  

You can also expose your own custom management class that is defined within an assembly. For example, the XML below defines a management class called _SDK. The _SDK class is defined in a custom assembly. Note that the management class must be defined using .NET from within the referenced assembly.

<ManagementClassDescription Name="_SDK">       <Properties>          <ManagementClassPropertyDescription Name="MyProperty1"/>         <ManagementClassPropertyDescription Name="MyProperty2"/>           <ManagementClassPropertyDescription Name="MyProperty3"/>      </Properties>       <ResourceAssembly>         <Assembly>UIExtensionsDemo.dll</Assembly>    <Type>UIExtensionsDemo.ConnectionManager._SDK.resources</Type>       </ResourceAssembly>       <ImagesDescription>          <ResourceAssembly>             <Assembly>UIExtensionsDemo.dll</Assembly>        <Type>UIExtensionsDemo.Resources.resources</Type>   </ResourceAssembly>         <ImageResourceName>ViewIcon</ImageResourceName>      </ImagesDescription></ManagementClassDescription>
