CIM_Check class
The CIM_Check class represents a condition or characteristic that is expected to be true in an environment defined or scoped by an instance of a CIM_ComputerSystem class. The checks associated with a particular software element are organized into one of two groups using the Phase property of the CIM_SoftwareElementChecks association.
Conditions that are expected to be satisfied when a software element is in a particular environment are known as in-state conditions. Conditions that must be satisfied to transition the current software element to its next state are known as next-state conditions.
A CIM_ComputerSystem object represents the environment in which a CIM_SoftwareElement is already installed, or in which a CIM_SoftwareElement will be installed. For the case in which a software element is already installed, the CIM_InstalledSoftwareElement association is used to identify the CIM_ComputerSystem object that represents the "environment." When a software element is being distributed and installed on a different computer, the CIM_ComputerSystem object for the targeted system is the environment.
Important
The DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) CIM (Common Information Model) classes are the parent classes upon which WMI classes are built. WMI currently supports only the CIM 2.x version schemas.
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

Members
The CIM_Check class has these types of members:
Methods
The CIM_Check class has these methods.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Invoke | Takes a particular action. Not implemented by WMI. |
Properties
The CIM_Check class has these properties.
-
Caption
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: Maxlen (64)
A short textual description of the subject.
-
-
CheckID
-
Identifier used in conjunction with other keys to uniquely identify the check.
-
CheckMode
-
-
Data type: boolean
-
Access type: Read-only
If TRUE, the condition is expected to exist in the environment. For example, a file is expected to be on a system, so the Invoke method should return TRUE.
If FALSE, the condition is not expected to exist. For example, a file is not on a system, so the Invoke method should return FALSE.

Remarks
WMI does not implement this class. For more information about classes derived from CIM_Check, see Win32 Classes.
This documentation is derived from the CIM class descriptions published by the DMTF. Microsoft may have made changes to correct minor errors, conform to Microsoft SDK documentation standards, or provide more information.
