The SMO object model is made up of a hierarchy of objects. The xref:Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server object is the top level object and all instance class objects reside under the xref:Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server object.
The xref:Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Wmi.ManagedComputer class is a top level class with a separate object hierarchy. The xref:Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Wmi.ManagedComputer object represents [!INCLUDEmsCoName] [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] services and network settings available through the WMI Provider.
Besides the xref:Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server and xref:Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Wmi.ManagedComputer objects, there are several utility classes that represent tasks or operations, such as xref:Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Transfer, xref:Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Backup, or xref:Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Restore
The SMO object model is made up of several namespaces. For more information, see SMO Namespaces.
