A task that generates strongly typed WMI classes using mgmtclassgen.exe.The Management Strongly Typed Class Generator enables you to quickly generate an early-bound managed class for a specified Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class. The generated class simplifies the code that you must write to access an instance of the WMI class.| Attribute | Description | Required |

| language | Specifies the language in which to generate the class. Possible values are: CS, VB, JS. | False |
| machine | Specifies the machine to connect to. | False |
| path | Specifies the path to the WMI namespace that contains the class. | False |
| namespace | Namespace of the generated .NET class | False |
| out | Path of the file to generate. | False |
| username | User name to use when connecting to the specified machine. | False |
| password | Password to use when connecting to the specified machine. | False |
