How to Modify the Supported Platforms for a Program

Your application can add supported platforms to a package, in Configuration Manager, by obtaining specific instances of the SMS_Package and SMS_Program classes and then adding an instance of the SMS_OS_Details class to the SupportedOperatingSystems property.

To modify the supported platforms for a program

1. Set up a connection to the SMS Provider.

2. Obtain an existing package object by using the SMS_Package class.

3. Obtain an existing program object by using the SMS_Program class.

4. Create and populate an instance of the SMS_OS_Details class.

5. Add the new SMS_OS_Details instance to the SupportedOperatingSystems property of the program object (from step 3).

Example

The following example method shows how to add supported platforms for a program.
