class CIM_OrgUnit : CIM_OrganizationalEntity

Description:

The OrgUnit class is used to represent a sub-unit of an organization such a division or department. The class is defined so as to incorporate commonly-used LDAP attributes to permit implementations to easily derive this information from LDAP-accessible directories. This class's properties are a subset of a related class, OtherOrgUnitInformation, which defines all the group properties and in array form for directory compatibility.

Feature Type Class Origin Qualifiers
InstanceID string CIM_ManagedElement
Description InstanceID is an optional property that may be used to opaquely and uniquely identify an instance of this class within the scope of the instantiating Namespace. Various subclasses of this class may override this property to make it required, or a key. Such subclasses may also modify the preferred algorithms for ensuring uniqueness that are defined below. To ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID should be constructed using the following "preferred" algorithm: <OrgID>:<LocalID> Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon (:), and where <OrgID> must include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that is creating or defining the InstanceID or that is a registered ID assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness, <OrgID> must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID must appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>. <LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and should not be reused to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If not null and the above "preferred" algorithm is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for the NameSpace of this instance. If not set to null for DMTF-defined instances, the "preferred" algorithm must be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM.
Caption string CIM_ManagedElement
Description The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
MaxLen 64
Description string CIM_ManagedElement
Description The Description property provides a textual description of the object.
ElementName string CIM_ManagedElement
Description A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information. Note that the Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.
CreationClassName string CIM_OrgUnit
Key TRUE
Description CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.
MaxLen 256
Name string CIM_OrgUnit
Key TRUE
Description The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. In the case of an LDAP-derived instance, the Name property value may be set to the distinguished name of the LDAP-accessed object instance.
MaxLen 1024
BusinessCategory string CIM_OrgUnit
Description This property describes the kind of business performed by an organizational unit.
MaxLen 128
FacsimileTelephoneNumber string CIM_OrgUnit
Description The organizational unit's facsimile telephone number.
LocalityName string CIM_OrgUnit
Description This property contains the name of a locality, such as a city, county or other geographic region.
OU string CIM_OrgUnit
Required TRUE
Description The name of the organizational unit.
PostalAddress string[] CIM_OrgUnit
Description The PostalAddress property values specify the address information required for the physical delivery of postal messages by the postal authority to the organizational unit.
PostalCode string CIM_OrgUnit
Description The PostalCode property specifies the postal code of the organizational unit. If this value is present it will be part of the object's postal address.
MaxLen 40
StateOrProvince string CIM_OrgUnit
Description The State or Province name property specifies a state or province.
TelephoneNumber string CIM_OrgUnit
Description The TelephoneNumber property specifies a telephone number of the organizational unit, e.g. + 44 582 10101).
MaxLen 32
