CIM_Group class

Collects ManagedElements into groups.

This class is defined so as to incorporate commonly-used LDAP attributes to permit implementations to easily derive this information from LDAP-accessible directories.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties.
