In Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, the site control file maintains configuration for the configuration of the site. These code samples query for the specific site control file item Configuration Management Agent, and change the EvaluationSchedule value to set the client agent evaluation schedule.

Details about reading from and writing to the site control file are discussed in the Configuration Manager Site Control File section of the SDK.

Warning

You should be experienced in managing a site's configuration before using the SMS Provider classes to modify the site configuration. You should use caution or avoid using the SMS_SCI_FileDefinition and SMS_SCI_SiteDefinition classes altogether. These classes manage the site control file itself. You can cause significant damage to a site by changing some configurable items.

Example

The following code example shows how to change the default compliance evaluation schedule for the configuration management client agent.

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

    ' Detailed information on the schedule token format can be found in the class SMS_ScheduleToken reference material.
