The site control file stores configuration information for an SMS site. Because the site control file is often updated, the SMS provider has a WMI text xmlns="http://ddue.schemas.microsoft.com/authoring/2003/5">SMS_SiteControlFile class that provides programmatic access to the file.
For example, you can update the site control file programmatically to create boundaries or, as in the case of the following procedure, change the site comment of the site.

| Use extreme care when scripting changes to the site control file, because it is possible to irreparably damage your SMS site. |
For more information about managing site control configuration, see the text xmlns="http://ddue.schemas.microsoft.com/authoring/2003/5">SMS 2003 SDK.
