The Scoping Instance of CIM_ComputerSystem for the Base Server profile is an object that represents the managed server. Various hardware and software components of the managed server are represented by CIM objects associated with this Scoping Instance.

A client can locate CIM objects by using one of the following ways:

■

Enumerate instances in the Implementation namespace, and then filter the results by their property values. This approach requires specific knowledge of the Implementation namespace and the subclassing used by the SMASH implementation on the managed server.

■

Locate the Base Server Scoping Instance that represents the managed server, and then traverse selected association objects to find the desired components. This approach requires less knowledge of the implementation details.

Base Server Scoping Instance Associated with Profile Registration shows the association between the profile registration instance in the Interop namespace and the Base Server Scoping Instance in the Implementation namespace.
