		Out	boolean	true

DestroySystem (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (DestroySystem)

Name	Data Type	Value
Description	string	Destroys a virtual system. The referenced virtual system is destroyed, including any elements scoped by it. Virtual resources are returned to their resource pools, which may imply the destruction of those resources (implementation dependent). If the virtual system is active when the operation is invoked, it is first deactivated and then destroyed. If snapshots were created from the virtual system, these are destroyed as well.

AffectedSystem	REF CIM_ComputerSystem	Description	string	Reference to an instance of class CIM_ComputerSystem representing the virtual computer system that it to be destroyed.
Job	REF CIM_ConcreteJob
		Description	string	If the operation is long running, then optionally a job may be returned.
		In	boolean	false
		Out	boolean	true

ModifyResourceSettings (uint32)
