1. Set up a connection to the SMS Provider.

2. Load all instances of the SMS_Report class into a collection.

3. Enumerate the collection of SMS_Report instances and output any properties as required.

Example

The following example method shows how to list reports by loading all instances of the SMS_Report class and then enumerating the instances, outputting specific properties as required.

For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.

Sub ListAllReports(connection)

' Build query to get all reports.
allReportsQuery = "SELECT * FROM SMS_Report"
    
' Run query.
Set allReports = connection.ExecQuery(allReportsQuery, , wbemFlagForwardOnly Or wbemFlagReturnImmediately)

' Output report name and other properties for each report found.
For Each report in allReports
    
    wscript.echo "Report Name: "          & report.Name
    wscript.echo "ReportID:    "          & report.ReportID
    wscript.echo "Report GUID: "          & report.ReportGUID   
    wscript.echo " "
    
Next

End Sub

public void ListAllReports(WqlConnectionManager connection)
{
    try
    {
        // Get a collection of all SMS_Report instances.
        IResultObject allReports = connection.QueryProcessor.ExecuteQuery("select * from SMS_Report");

        foreach (IResultObject report in allReports)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Report Name: " + report["Name"].StringValue);
            Console.WriteLine("Report ID:   " + report["ReportID"].IntegerValue);
            Console.WriteLine("Report GUID: " + report["ReportGUID"].StringValue);
            Console.WriteLine(" ");
        }
    }
    catch (SmsException ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Failed to list reports. Error: " + ex.Message);
        throw;
    }
}
