NumberOfLogicalProcessors 

The number of logical processors currently available on the system.

NumberOfProcessors 

The number of physical processors currently available on the system, which is the number of processors whose status is enabled. Determined by enumerating the processor instances associated with the computer system object.

PartOfDomain

Indicates whether the computer is part of a domain (TRUE) or workgroup (FALSE). If NULL, the computer is not part of a network group, or is unknown.

PowerOnPasswordStatus 

Identifies the system-wide hardware security settings for Power On Password Status.

PowerState 

Indicates the current power state of the computer system and its associated operating system. Value 4 (Unknown) indicates the system is known to be in a power save mode, but its exact status in this mode is unknown; 2 (Low Power Mode) indicates the system is in a power save state but still functioning, and may exhibit degraded performance; 3 (Standby) indicates the system is not functioning but could be brought to full power 'quickly'; and value 7 (Warning) indicates the computerSystem is in a warning state, though also in a power save mode.

PowerSupplyState

Identifies the state of the enclosure's power supply (or supplies) when last booted.

ResetCount 

The number of automatic resets since the last intentional reset. A value of -1 indicates that the count is unknown.

ResetLimit

The number of consecutive time the system reset will be attempted. A value of -1 indicates that the limit is unknown.

Status

Current operational or non-operational status of an object. Operational statuses include: OK, Degraded, and Pred Fail, which is an element such as a SMART-enabled hard disk drive that may be functioning properly, but predicts a failure in the near future. Non-operational statuses include: Error, Starting, Stopping, and Service, which can apply during mirror-resilvering of a disk, reloading a user permissions list, or other administrative work.

SystemType 

Indicates the type of system running on the Win32 computer. Constraints: Must have a value.

ThermalState

Identifies the enclosure's thermal state when last booted.
