Changing a MOF File

If you change a class definition in a MOF file that was previously compiled, you must delete the class from the CIM Object Manager Repository before recompiling the MOF file. Otherwise, you will get an error that the class already exists and the new information will not propagate to the CIM Object Manager. You can use the CIM WorkShop to delete a class as described in Deleting Classes and Their Attributes.
