In Configuration Manager, the ReadFromString Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class method reads SMS_ScheduleToken Server WMI Class objects from an interval string.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and defines the method.

SInt32 ReadFromString(
   String StringData,
     SMS_ScheduleToken TokenData[]
);

Parameters

  • StringData
    Data type: String

    Qualifiers: [in]

    The interval string (details in table below).

  The ScheduleToken class uses two DWORDs to store the schedule data. 
  
  Values for the first DWORD layed out as follows:
