Remarks
There are no special class qualifiers for this class. For more information about both the class qualifiers and the property qualifiers included in the Properties section, see Configuration Manager Class and Property Qualifiers.
Your application uses this class to set or modify the source of a software update so that metadata is properly synchronized during update deployment. Currently, the supported sources for software updates are Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and ITMU/Offline Catalog.
To use this class, the application creates an SMS_SoftwareUpdateSource object and sets the properties as required for the particular software update and the source. When ready for metadata synchronization among the parent site and the child sites, the application can call ResendObjectToAllSites Method in Class SMS_SoftwareUpdateSource.
