    A Configuration Manager interval string is an internal representation of a schedule token, represented by an SMS_ScheduleToken Server WMI Class object. Configuration Manager interval strings aren't of the same format as WMI interval strings.

    This class isn't used to convert schedule tokens to or from the friendly scheduling strings, for example, "Occurs every 1 day(s) effective 9:27AM Tuesday", found in the Configuration Manager console.
